Authorities find more bodies after initial report of 115 two weeks ago, when owners were evicted and police investigated foul odor
The remains of at least 189 decaying bodies were found and removed from a Colorado funeral home, up from about 115 reported when the bodies were discovered two weeks ago, officials said Tuesday.
The remains were found by authorities responding to a report of a foul odor at the Return to Nature funeral home inside a decrepit building in the small town of Penrose, Colorado.
Efforts to identify the remains began last week with help from an FBI team that gets deployed to mass casualty events like airline crashes. Fremont sheriff Allen Cooper described the scene as “horrific”.
Funeral homes are parasites. Families should prepare and bury their own, unembalmed with no casket. A dead body is the most biodegradable matter in nature. Why pump it full of formalin and doll it up like a tart? Mourn the life of the dead, not their physical body.
Have you seen the people of walmart? Do you want them to be burying their dead near river banks and protected water ways? Fuck no.
There is this clothing donation dumpster thing by my work that has a couch infront of it. It’s pretty clear to me what happened. Someone brought it, noticed the sign that says no furniture donations, and decided that it wasn’t his problem.
It would be pretty much like that. Find random bodies everywhere.
This couch looks comfy, let’s put grandad there. No one will notice, put some sunglasses on him.
Or just plain old burying a person too shallow. Not a huge problem now, but it’ll be a problem when coyotes and vultures and other scavengers dig the corpse up.
FR tho
It’s somehow three times the work to bury them a second time. Plus you always get stuck fixing during the day.
Remember kids, if you think you dug the hole deep enough, you didn’t.
Preparing and burying your own is a recipe for cholera outbreak
Cholera more requires the living and untreated water. Palestine is a recipe for a cholera outbreak. You’d need some spread among the living before the corpses become a real vector.
E coli maybe, but once again, only with untreated water.
For the most part, corpses don’t really spread a lot of disease other than whatever killed them.
Families should prepare and bury their own, unembalmed with no casket.
Half the people I meet in a day, I’m not certain how they manage to leave the house in the morning without accident.
There would be a lot of dead people lying around and 180kg grandma seeping into the creek running by.
Are you out of your mind?
Fun fact. It’s completely legal and ok to take possession of your loved one, provided you are their legal next of kin, and you can effectively bury them yourselves. Find someone on Craigslist that can throw together a pine box and rent out an excavator for a weekend and you can bury grandma for a fraction of the cost.
I have loaded a corpse into the bed of a pickup truck. We have sat bodies upright in the back of a suburban. All of this is completely legal so long as you don’t cross state lines and even then you just need a permit.
Each state handles it differently but largely this is the same wherever you go.
Spend the 5k to 10k on a nice trip to Vegas, Grammy would have wanted it that way.
You can also just not claim grandma’s body and let your tax dollars handle it at an even bigger bargain.
You are absolutely correct sort of. After ten days we notify the state that nobody has claimed the body. They will then take upwards of 3 months and look into all of their family and known associates. I suspect if you are well off and don’t have a good reason to refuse to pay for a funeral they are going to put the pressure on you to do so. But I don’t know that there’s a legal Avenue for them to force you to do so. They can carve up that persons estate to pay for it and I think most people have a general quantity of things and money they can pull from. But yeah if that person has nothing and you say no, yah probably you’re gettin off.
Your grandma will rot the whole time. We have to open those bags to confirm who is inside anytime they change hands so I get to see the remnants of that and u know it is what it is. Mostly it’s homeless people and that’s just the expected process. But occasionally there’s families that just won’t do it and I mean I’m not one to blame them. Even the cheapest traditional options are thousands of dollars.
Fascinating industry though. It’s not my primary job but you have to learn the funeral business to function with those sorts. They’re my favorite. They’re all a little fucked up in their own way. Some a lot of way.
My family is under orders to abandon my body and let me rot.
That’s cool. They can’t and won’t. But I think it’s pretty straightforward for most middleish class people to set aside a few thousand to cover their disposal. You don’t even have to specifically set that money aside. You set it aside when you collect baseball cards or limited edition Mountain Dew code zero call of duty custom 2 liters.
Just let your family carve up your bullshit and sell it to stupid drunk people.
lol so cute of you to assume that I have or ever will acquire anything of value or have savings. My only real goal in life is to not end up homeless before I die
What happens if you don’t own land?
Wait…You… You are saying to only bury your dead on your own land, right?

If you don’t own land then you’re not a real citizen /s
It turns out that humans and their pets are horrible for the environment because we’re just filled with chemicals from medication, cosmetics, and food. We’re not living our natural best anymore.
It’s actually illegal in most countries to bury a dead body without alerting your authorities and usually there are restrictions on where you can do it.
You can of course just cremate the body, you don’t have to go with a cemetery.
Nobody wants to talk about the fact that this is very clearly a former Pizza Hut?
F
A funeral home contains dead bodies? THE HORROR!
Well they’re normally not rotting
Typically the front doesn’t fall off.
