Remains of 63 Fetuses and Infants Found at Second Detroit Funeral Home
NY Times ^ | 10/20/18 | Jacey Fortin

The remains of 63 infants or fetuses were found at a funeral home in Detroit on Friday, the Detroit Police Department said.

The discovery came amid an expanding investigation, one week after authorities found the decomposed remains of 11 infants or fetuses at another — apparently unrelated — funeral home in Detroit. The discoveries have raised concerns about the handling and disposal of human remains by the city’s funeral homes, especially in cases of stillbirth.

On Friday, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs found “heinous conditions and negligent conduct” at the Perry Funeral Home. State authorities said on Saturday that they removed 37 remains from boxes and 26 from a freezer. Some of the human remains there were found to be years old.

Only thing that makes sense as not disposing of remains in no way saves money.

Some urban funeral homes hold bodies until the money comes in.

That's exactly what it is -- cutting corners to save (or pocket) money. I think mortuaries are paid a small amount to handle the bodies of stillborn children. Easier to pocket the moolah and stash the corpse until . . . later. Just as election fraud is 99% Democrat, these funeral home horror stories occur 99% of the time at black-owned facilities. Remember the mini scandal over Emmett Till's disinterred coffin? That happened at a black-owned facility.

Do the local hospitals and abortion centers send ‘remains’ to funeral homes? Don’t some women who have a full-term but stillborn child have a funeral? I’ve been to three in my lifetime, so far.

I’m not understanding the chain of events, here...but I could have brain fog as this is so absolutely disgusting and surreal to me!

Perhaps the local Mambos can only absorb so many dead babies a year? The excess are stored for future voodoo needs...

Yes it does.

No fee for having them cremated saves the Funeral Home money.

Since these may be unwanted babies (fetuses and infants), then the Funeral Home bills the state for a cemetary plot, and yet can sell that same plot to someone else because no one is going to come try to visit the plot from the unwanted cases. MO MONEY.

Yes. They billed the state for the burials.

It was medicaid fraud. Up to $555/fetus apparently. The bodies came from two hospitals in Detroit.

The mass murder of a generation is happening right in front of us and we are letting it happen. Yet people complain and go crazy when a few dozens children are hurt or killed with a gun.

While both situations are horrible, only the former situation is categorically denied by half the population of this society. Abortion is the murder of a child.

There was a time when Still born infants might be interred in the coffin along with someone having a funeral. I assume that you have to obtain permission from the family of the deceased. I don’t know what was happening at this home.

Not true.

If they were supposed to be cremated, you make 100% profit. You hold them until you have enough to fill a coffin, them burn them all at once.

In a lot of these areas, you gotta think like a gangsta.

It depends. Short term miscarriages are often treated as medical waste. Yes, I know...not my cup of tea either.

Older stillborn are often handled at the request of the parents.

I have no idea how abortions are handled.
