Recently in Kentucky a Family came to a funeral home to make Funeral Arrangements.

Instead of explaining cremation the Funeral Director took the family out back behind the Funeral Home to the crematory, and showed the Family an actual burning body.

This brought on a lawsuit against Funeral Director|Dale Bryson

Cremation Chamber

“The Brysons’ lawsuit recounts having met with Pyke after Sellersburg resident Dale Bryson, 50, the former husband of Debra Bryson and the father of Audra Bryson, died at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Louisville. During the meeting, Audra Bryson determined that she could not afford a burial and asked about cremation, according to the suit.

The women claim that Pyke led them and another family member to a crematory behind the funeral home and opened the door of an oven where “a human body was being consumed in flames.” The suit also said Pyke showed them a “grinder” where human remains are crushed and that he picked up human bones and displayed them for the visitors.

NO Funeral arrangements have been set for the domestic terrorist who flew his plane into the IRS Building. His wife however is sorrowful over the incident.

The wife of a man officials say crashed his small airplane into an Internal Revenue Service office in Texas expressed her “sincere sympathy to the victims and their families” Friday.

“Words cannot adequately express the sorrow or the sympathy I feel for everyone affected by this unimaginable tragedy,” Sheryl Stack said in a statement read by a family friend, Rayford Walker.

A Facebook Memorial has run into some legal trouble in Canada. Apparently the popularity of the memorial on facebook for a two year old murdered boy may pollute a jury pool, violate a  court order and a publication ban.

FACEBOOK HAS RUN INTO SOME TROUBLE WITH A FUNERAL MEMORIAL.

As a grief-stricken family prepared the funeral for a two-year-old Oshawa boy slain in a basement apartment, thousands of people turned to Facebook to memorialize the child.

But as mourners — some family, some friends, even complete strangers — post condolences, photos and apparent theories of how the toddler was killed, they could be breaking a court-ordered publication ban.

Neither the victim nor the accused, the mother’s 26-year-old boyfriend, can be publicly identified.via www.metronews.ca

There are reports that indigent burials are growing in 2009 in Minnesota. Other states have reported the same.

Costs to local Governmemts have grown to take care of those loved ones that  people cannot afford to bury or proide a funeral.

“In some Minnesota localities, as in many other places around the country, indigent and county-assisted burials have been on the rise in the last couple of years as economic conditions have worsened.

State law requires counties to pay basic funeral expenses to bury or cremate those who die alone and destitute, or to provide those services for families who can’t afford a basic coffin and burial for a relative.”via www.startribune.com
