When I read this article, it reminded me of a story I read a few years ago about body parts that were being sold from a funeral parlor. See here -> Funeral Homes Sold Body Parts in "Ghastly Case" - LiveScience

Reading this article below INTENSIFIED my wish to be cremated. I wish my driver's license or passport would state, "please CREMATE if found dead." Ugh.

this is crazy - who would do such a thing

Disrespectful and a low life to even think of doing such a thing. I remember that Law & Order had an episode about something like this. I was mortified. I get a headache just thinking of this but people need to know how crazy this world can be at times!

sure! there was a guy down in Atlanta at a funeral home that wasn't even buring or cremating the bodies. He was just stacking them in the crematorium. The place had an oder. There were bodies that had already decomposed stacked in there. I tried to find the story, but couldn't. DO you remember hearing about this? It wasn't that long ago.

I remember that! I think I saw something on NBC's Dateline about it. I was repulsed by the story because I could not understand WHY someone would do that! It scares me to think that someone would disrespect the dead like this but I always remind myself that the dead body is a corpse and the spirit is not in that body. My god brother was killed in February 08 in a freak accident and the funeral home really did a disservice to his physical body (I'll spare details); however, my entire family STAYED at the gravesite until we saw the casket lowered into the ground and dirt covering his casket. We wanted to make sure nothing fishy happened. That Atlanta story has had me on high alert for a long time.

Thanks for sharing.

it does give the idea of cremation brownie points in my camp. This is sick ...and sad.

Well, I have always felt that the "bake and shake" is the best method for my remains and my wife's also. I feel this way for the Mississippi funeral home also did a slight (not major) disservice to my Mother's remains several years ago also.
