Are you guys in Memphis following this story?

There could be hundreds or thousands of unidentified graves in this place.  Forensic teams are going to be busy for years.

This is disgusting. They story mentions the owner being arrested, but there's no way multiple other people didn't know what was going on. I suspect this type of thing happens more often than we'd like to believe.

Were I a funeral home director in Memphis right now, I'd wear my nice pajamas to bed.  I expect that we'll be seeing some early morning visits from the authorities as we learn more.

This is not the first report of double-stacking and other such improprieties from a Memphis cemetery.  There seems to be a new story every few years. 

 

Whenever I go down there I usually head over to Forest Hill on Elvis Presley to make sure my people are intact and the 4 plots I own are unoccupied.

Sadly it seems that most of these cemetery scandals affect poor black families. See: http://yourfuneralguy.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/top-10-funeral-scandals-year-by-yearof-the-last-decade-yourfuneralguy/

My first thought when I saw this story was, "Again?"
