When a loved one passes away, they typically end up at a mortuary. A place designated to care for the after life process. Whether it be a burial or cremation, the family entrusts the funeral directors to be responsible, to properly complete the final wishes. But time and time again there are cases where morticians failed to, not only give the respect everyone deserves, but in some cases are so horrific, it becomes criminal.
