Sadly, I have heard from a friend of a friend who quit her job as a funeral home inspector due to the things she saw which were not considered illegal, perhaps there should be legislation to promote more options persons can do personally, I wouldn't want to trust anyone who I could not observe throughout the process.

The green energy crowd are nuts.

[@twilit]

nothing wrong with simple burials that’s how it used to be before the funeral industry but this is just a messed up couple, as there are messed up examples of regular funeral home owners also like the one whose family found their sons body was stuffed full of newspaper and everything inside missing

HELP ME 😂😂😂

[@the1truejimmer952]

Wow. Just wow

[@oaklandmade007]

Right 💯 I 1:48 am soooo at a loss for words....

[@jimmyYa0]

I mean, what was his funeral home doing using mannikins to stage the funeral and keeping the bodies to play with… this is absolutely baffling… I mean use your brain and think what was going on here and how did they get away with this… think of the steps of a funeral… this makes no sense.

[@JSWolfe]

My first job at 15 was at a funeral home cleaning up things, I played with this gorgeous dead girl whos funeral was set for the following day, it was by far the most erotic experience of my life...

[@censorsstarve]

Did you forget cremation is a thing? Or closed casket funerals? Plenty of ways they could have done it. The cremation scam seems most likely, where they just give you random ashes instead of cremating the body.

@@JSWolfe Necrophilia is against the law.

[@laurelshugars2866]

Jimmy I agree. What the heck. Did not families participate in the funerals and burials of their loved ones? Furthermore, what was to be gained by storing rotting bodies. This makes no sense!!

[@twilit]

@@laurelshugars2866maybe they were selling organs

[@letsdothis3332]

Low level felonies? Are you kidding me?

[@twilit]

the decaying bodies have been released back to their families? what are they supposed to do with them?

[@333onlyhalfevol]

They were probably transfered to another funeral home of the families choice

[@MrJuvefrank]

Either the Hallfords were too cheap to do what they said they were going to do, or they kept the bodies because they liked them.

[@davidderler5924]

I'm sure they collected the money but lived in Oklahoma. Who kept bringing them there ? City morgues ? Had to be fricken gross .

[@prestonhanson501]

That's what I'm thinking. It was either about saving money, or it was sick shit. Like sexual sick shit or selling body's or parts. It's all sick shit of course but some is sicker then others

[@Aquariun9iteMMare]

They definitely resided there in Colorado he would visit his brother fairly often in Tulsa.

To use this tragedy into a political jibe makes you an awful human being. 😡 And I'm conservative.
