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.

“In the funeral business, it’s known as “wildcat scattering.” The Journal describes the practice as “surreptitiously spreading ashes in favorite parks, stadiums, fishing spots or wherever else feels meaningful.” The Cremation Association of North America estimates about 135,000 families a year are choosing to scatter ashes. “Religion used to hold the script of what you did with the dead,” said Tom Jokinen, a former apprentice undertaker who has written an about-to-be-published memoir, “Curtains.” “Cremation has handed the power back to the people to do what they want with the remains of their loves ones.”via www.nytimes.com
