A South Carolina judge ordered the closing of Cave Funeral Home, after owner Michael Cave admitted a worker cut off the legs of a corpse, so it would fit in its casket.
The ruling upheld last month's decision by the state Funeral Board to revoke the license of the funeral home.
In administrative court, Cave admitted that his funeral home cut the legs off 6-foot-7 James Hines five years ago and failed to tell his family. His reasoning? He didn't want the grieving relatives "to suffer more".
A fired employee notified the family of the misdeed about a year ago.
WTF? He did not notify the family of the dead, because he didn't want them "to suffer more". Talk about mistreating the dead. This goes to show that there is such a thing as karma. That former employee truly exacted revenge on their former employment. What could he/she possibly have gotten fired for, when the company funeral home engaged in offensive and disrespectful behavior? Surely the company itself wasn't living up to the ethical codes which govern their business, so why should the employees?
And to think, that family paid probably paid out the wazzoo for that casket because many funeral homes tend to upsell their items. They would have probably been better off purchasing thier own casket from separate distributor...at least the body would have fully been laid to rest in piece.
