Multiple decomposing bodies and human fetuses at Pocatello [Idaho] funeral home
East Idaho News ^ | Sept. 4, 2021 | Nate Sunderland

Posted on 09/04/2021 4:25:18 PM PDT by bgill

McDougall confirmed during a search of the building, officers discovered multiple unrefrigerated bodies in various states of decomposition, including some that were badly decomposed. Human fetuses were also discovered on the premises.

Police have not provided a total body count, or given any sort of explanation about why the bodies were decomposing or why fetuses were on the property.

So far, no one has been arrested in connection with this case...

The Downard Funeral Home is owned by Pocatello resident Lance Peck and his wife. Peck has a history of licensing violations... Additionally, Downard Funeral Home was previously in charge of donating cadavers to Idaho State University for scientific study. This relationship ended last year though, after the university did not receive donations for a period of time.

It's an hour away from Rexburg. Any of the deceased knew Lori and Chad Daybell, huh?

Whenver this happens it raises a lot of questions. The actual cost of cremating or embalming a body is quite low for the funeral home so not doing a service that was paid for makes little sense. Also when you factor in having to hide the bodies and falsify records it is just easier to do what is required by law.

I initially read the name of the funeral home as “Downward”. Thought it a strange name for such a business.

Happened in Tennessee several years ago. The funeral home was supposed to cremate the bodies but their crematorium was broken so the funeral home just put the bodies in out buildings.

I think there was one in Louisiana where the crematorium broke down and they tossed the bodies out in the back 40.

“… The Downard Funeral Home is owned by Pocatello resident Lance Peck…”
************************************************************
“Lance Peck”? Hell, I’d rather employ a funeral director named Lance Boyle!

When you get the urn, I wonder what’s really in there.

It probably isn’t grandma.

It’s a guarantee there’s at least some of everyone before her and some of her in future urns.

Weird. Happened in Philadelphia Pa a few years ago too.

I’d get in trouble if I put a body of a deceased family member.

“It probably isn’t grandma.”

“It’s a guarantee there’s at least some of everyone before her and some of her in future urns.

Our grandkids’s other grand mother died from the crud in late March of 2020 in a NJ nursing home.”

Supposedly the body couldn’t be touched in the funeral home. Finally, in that summer, our DIL was able to get her mother’s supposed ashes.

Your thoughts above were unsaid by many of us here and back in NJ.

I saw that too.
I thought “Downward” was rather odd, but sort of appropriate branding.

Or that place in Georgia in the early 2000’s I think, that was pretty bad

I have noticed a few crematories down here in Florida are struggling to find staff to operate. If you lack good staff, that equipment is going to get neglected, screwed up, or go unrepaired.
