Top 6 Naughty Funeral Director Scandals

[@larryulery3729]

Thanks for calling out these funeral homes by name. This is why I like your channel

[@KaritheMortician]

you are welcome!

[@jbsdiversified9510]

I was blessed to have worked for establishments that didn't play that. The owner of one of them would visit the embalming room to make sure that jokes about the deceased where not happening. That's when the industry focused on high standards and respect!

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you

[@jbsdiversified9510]

This is very disgusting to hear how some of these crooks could disrespect the remains of people's loved ones! If there were any such things as ghosts, it would be nice for them to haunt the hell out of all those crooks and for those who would even think about doing such evil and wicked things to the remains of someone's loved ones!!!!

[@KaritheMortician]

Agreed!

[@ReelFloridaOutdoors]

I live in Jacksonville and the Howell case was huge. He had the indigent contract with the city. It took the city a couple years to dig up graves and identify the deceased. He was putting multiple bodies in caskets and charging the city for each case. He didn’t even own that building and believe it or not him and his wife were living there as well. They did an article on people in Jacksonville about 10 years later about people who were arrested for scandals and what they’re doing now. He was delivering pizzas for Pizza Hut. He claimed he had a drinking problem that led him to do what he did. They finally tore the building down a few years after it was shut down.

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you for the insight

[@chrisblevins755]

Love that you're sharing their hideous behavior and calling them out for it.

[@KaritheMortician]

Its fun to be a little light hearted with a heavy topic

[@RikkiSpanish]

All of the cases are disturbing, but the ones involving fetuses bother me the most. Maybe it has something to do with the trauma of having lost so many babies myself, but I feel like it's extra evil to mistreat a fetus or deceased baby. This was already a life that was so incredibly vulnerable to begin with, and that tiny baby deserves the utmost care and protection. Stuffing those babies away like last seasons wardrobe is just plain evil. I don't understand how anyone could be so cold or uncaring.

[@KaritheMortician]

I don't know from the stories if they were actual babies or cremated remains of them.

[@cando9109]

@@KaritheMortician Why would a funeral home want to store babies , fetuses, or anyone ? What is goal ?

The Georgia crematory story several years ago was horrendous. Bodies just stored everywhere. Such a disgusting display of inhumanity.

[@jeffpierce725]

I remember as a kid hearing about a funeral home somewhere ( 50ish years later I don't remember now) that was selling bodies to med schools as donated cadavers without the families knowledge. Sandbags were placed in the caskets so it felt like there was a body inside and were buried. They got caught when a body was exhumed for a 2nd autopsy and the casket was filled with sandbags. They had been doing this for quite a while and even the funeral home had lost count of how many sandbag caskets had been buried. Now that's naughty!

[@stellarocquie7957]

And FKT UP!

[@KaritheMortician]

Ugh

[@ilanamillion8942]

Was that the one in New York? He was caught and punished for doing such horrible things. If it's the same one I am thinking of, one of the bodies who had parts removed and sold without the family's knowledge was a noted television personality.

I'm sad for all the families who's loved ones were sooo abused. It surprises me that more of the funeral home owners were not given long prison terms. I live next door to a large cemetery, which contains 2 chapels and a crematorium. They are subjected to several unannounced inspections and 1 major audit annually. Because I love to walk in the graveyard, I've seen the inside of the facilities. Everything is really well organised and the entire place is spotless. Having watched this video, I wonder if there is sufficient oversight of crematoriums and funeral homes in the US?

[@KaritheMortician]

You're being nice with regard to the first one! This is not naughty, it's criminal! I do, however, think downgrading those charges was for the best! Most likely was part of a plea bargain that saved the families the continued trauma of a trial. Loss of their license and a lot of community service still send a powerful message about inappropriate photography! I also think social media has got out of control with people trying to top others. This is why I don't have accounts on most of them!

Kari, I think that it is so important that we, the public are made aware of these "naughty funeral homes " it makes one frightened knowing that these despicable things can happen to our loved ones who as you said cannot defend themselves. It's so sad to think that people who we are trusting with something so sacred can be so morally wrong. They must be aware of the pain that they are causing the people who are grief stricken about the loss of their loved one never mind having to deal with such horrific sercumstances such as the ones you have described. Thank goodness we have people like you in the business who truly care and want to do your very best for the decedent and their loved ones ❤

As hard as it might be, it's very important to figure out which funeral home you want to use when it comes times. We are all going to die, but trying to make funeral arrangements when you are an emotional wreck is not easy. There are a lot of honest ones out there, but there's a lot of bad ones to. I have a friend in the funeral business who gave me some tips. 1. Don't waste your money on a super fancy stainless steel coffin. It's not going to preserve the body. 2. Don't fall for the upgrade of a sealer on the coffin to keep it air tight. It's nothing more than a rubber gasket that will blow out as pressure builds 3. Don't fall for the upgraded coffin vault either. 4. Embalming is not mandatory. 5. Have friends and family print cards and invitations. 6. That obituary ad in the paper will probably cost you 500.00. 7. Always get at least 10-15 death certificates. You will be surprised at how many you need. 8. Bring a friend or family member with you to make arrangements. A person who isn't emotionally hurting inside. They can greatly help you avoid being taken advantage of.

[@KaritheMortician]

@@KaritheMortician, they 'claim' he's sold it but the new owners are keeping his name on there for 'name recognition' but you'd think after hearing about him, they'd want to distance themselves from him & start fresh???

Oh, on the 'removal permits' that I mentioned earlier, I asked our 'funeral director friend', Tom Stafford, apparently each state has its own 'rules/regulations & removal permits are a 'Wisconsin thing', just to make sure it's an actual funeral director (or at minimum, an apprentice) that are doing the removals/taking the remains into their care.

What I don't understand is why some families doesn't pick up the remains of their deceased loved ones. Didn't the family love that person. I don't understand how these places got away with not performing the funeral service. That's not something that would go un noticed by the family.

I think they just don't want to have to deal with that part of it

If I remember correctly the Morning Glory case was Dr. Garavaglia’s first case as a medical examiner in Florida. She done great work on this. Jan was a great medical examiner. She had a great mind and personality for the job. I met her a few years ago at a conference.
