‘An extremely pungent chemical smell’: Army veteran’s family sues funeral home for sending his brain home in cardboard box

The ghastly condition of Fred Love’s body at his open-casket funeral was the first sign that something had gone terribly wrong. The next big indicator, much to one Missouri family’s horror, was when a “chemical smell” allegedly began emanating from a box that a funeral home gave them after his cremation.

Again, hit the link. This shit is nothing short of disgraceful from start to finish.

  1. I was so appalled at the way the body snatchers treated my patients' families, I took myself off the organ donor list. Told my kids not to donate. It's a vile business.

  2. Agreed Jen. As a licensed funeral director and embalmer in two states they are not the benevolent organizations they put themselves out to be.

    1. That bad? I remember when Lisa's son died she gave permission for his organs to be donated. The experience was not all that bad and the organization even passed on letters of thanks from organ recipients which gave Lisa much needed comfort.
      I have to mention though that Josh was cremated, so we never saw his body again after we left the hospital room when they turned of the machines.

  3. Shut those funeral homes down, and bar everyone involved from ever again working in the funeral industry.

  5. This story makes no sense to me.

    "It was Fred Love’s final wish that his organs be donated after his burial with military honors. After that, his cremated remains were to go home with his family."

    Organs are harvested after immediately after death, not after a burial.
    All the claims from the family sound suspicious to me.
