Will Pay Cash For Bodies - (yeah, that is a clickbait title)

[Jimmy Higgins]

You see the signs everywhere. We buy cars that have exploded. We pay cash for ugly houses. We pay cash to store your dead loved ones.

Okay, maybe that wasn't a sign that was put up. However a man has been charged with running unlicensed funeral homes across Northern Ohio. The bodies and remains of 90 people were found in an abandoned Church. Conveniently located, I believe a couple stone throws from Akron Summa hospital. The local police were likely relieved that he didn't kill these people like those other mass killers that generally went under the national radar in the Cleveland area.

But the sad thing, among many:

The remains were labelled with names of the deceased, with the Ohio Attorney General’s office releasing the list of names to the public.

Many of the deceased have been identified as former residents of Toledo.

So, he brought the deceased to Akron from Toledo, which looks close on a US map, but it is a two hour drive! Where did the families think the remains went, or were these families not families and these were people that were alone?

He was also charged with "five counts of failure to file taxes". Yeah, right. Taxes.

It’s always the taxxes that get you.

There was a similar case in my area about 30 years ago. A private pilot owned a small company where he would (supposedly) take your loved ones ashes and spread them out over the Pacific Ocean. Turns out, he was just dumping the ashes (unlabeled) in various random spots in a vacant lot behind his little shop. Some ashes were buried, others strewn about the ground, others stored in barrels, etc. He got in a lot of trouble.
