Crime in cemeteries was pretty common. Robbery in broad daylight, theft of bronze vases, urns benches and memorials. I've caught people stealing flowers for resale. My boss found a hooker in the truck when he was delivering a headstone. There was a shooting at one funeral and another where the grounds supervisor was given a broken nose punched in the face by gang members for not opening a sealed coffin (which by law, he cannot). Dead bodies were found dumped in a river at the cemetery across from us (two that I can remember).

Why would anyone want to open a coffin? What's the welfare/disability rate there? Are we paying for these animals?

I assume to strip the body of any jewelry or clothing.
