Investigation outlines claims against man accused of operating illegal funeral business across Ohio

[@vernarolle482]

I can only imagine how we are treated behind closed doors when we die....look how we are treated when we are alive

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Read up on the Body Brokers. It's a real book. Arthur Rathburn. Tri State. You can't even IMAGINE where donated bodies end up or in what condition. One guy...molested over 100 corpses amd his bosses KNEW about it.

Yessss sick 😢

[@mrscassaberry2045]

After all of this he's done I don't understand why he didn't just go to school to do it. This is ridiculous

[@TheCierra1020]

That’s what I was thinking..he had the experience..he just had too much going on at one time

[@mrscassaberry2045]

@@TheCierra1020 right. ....it doesn't take that long I think only like 2 years for mortuary science. I don't get it. He could've been a legitimate business owner instead of adding even more heartbreak to families that are already in mourning. Smh

[@LynneDevon]

Someone taught him the closed book way. He took off after the first one. I don’t think no one wants to see any of their family mishandled or mistreated like this when they pass. Shawnee got 11-12 yrs! IMO is a slap on the wrist. Todays world is like the days of Noah. Pedophile’s get less. 🤦🏽‍♂️

It’s some sick folks out hear who would want to do this shit

[@AT-zl6dk]

I will never forget working inpatient and this lady passed away on the unit literally right before the ambulance arrived to bring her home hospice. They said the day before she was talking to her family and sitting upright in the recliner. Anyway even though those papers were signed for home hospice / out of hospital DNR The hospital/ we had to prepare her before transporting her to the morgue and then the funeral home. Once she passed away the process of postmortem care began and it was respected. I’m saying all this to say you have to know how to handle the living and the dead. Protocol is real.

[@sdetelus]

There’s another guy, Raymond Shawn Mackey, who was also operating a funeral home in Opa Locka, Florida. He never had a license to operate a funeral home. He allegedly used someone else license without their consent. He was arrested for receiving money from grieving families. When they returned back to the funeral home Shawn had packed up to parts unknown. Well, Mr. Mackey is in Nassau, Bahamas still operating a funeral home under the name of “Memories Funeral Home and Crematory”. He cremated my brother (which was his uncle) almost two years ago, he promised he would bring me his ashes. I’ve called and my calls now go unanswered. The last time I spoke with him I was cursed out. He said he thought I was his ex-wife. The caller ID clearly didn’t say that. He’s a thief and a liar. All of the people who are still looking for Raymond Shawn Mackey he is in Nassau,Bahamas.

There's a cemetery in my hometown the family has it rigged to where if one of the family running the cemetery gets arrested automatically falls into the hands of the next family member keeping it out of the hands of others the cemetery is popular for reselling burial plots and digging up bodies and shoving them into sheds there's a warehouse on the property and about 10 years ago somebody investigated it and they had hookup plots and stack the coffins and the bodies within them and this Warehouse from floor-to-ceiling, I have a friend that was buried in that Cemetery I went to visit his grave his Tombstone was gone, so I went to the opposite the cemetery I said where the hell is his tombstone magically reappeared what was the family having the cemetery of the way they have it rigged no one can shut them down lawsuits mean nothing to them they just drag and drag and drag them out

He ABSOLUTELY does, are you nuts? What if it was YOUR relative? I guarantee you. The reason there's no death certificate is that these cremains are probably concrete dust. Then, where's the body? Um.
