2009 Burr Oak Cemetery Scandal
“A deadline is approaching for families affected by the Burr Oak grave desecration scandal.
The desecration of hundreds of plots at the Alsip graveyard made national headlines last summer
Relatives of loved ones buried there now have until April 9, 2010 to file claims against the Alsip Cemetery.
Burr Oak Cemetery was shut down for several months after the discovery of a grisly scheme.
Four former cemetery workers are charged with digging up and re-selling graves.
The United States Congress is considering national cemetery reform in response to this scandal. The Legislation is called the Bereaved Consumers Bill of Rights Act of 2009(HR 3655).
