I suppose you'd already be sensensitised to the general gore of such an act by nature of your job, but doing that is pretty ****ing low still....

Thanks for that, and I did.

don't think that could happen here. We have much 'better' red tape than they do in the US of A.

Man that's nasty. In reality though you know, if we were preserving energy an all that, then maybe it was a good thing. But still rough on the folks.

If my memory serves, there was an incident two or three years back that was similar to this one. A cremotorium owner in the US (I think it was up in the north-east somewhere, possibly NH, VT or MA) was prosecuted after it was discovered that he hadn't actually been cremating his charges. He had instead been burying them unceremoniously in the grounds of the crematorium, so his operating costs would be lower. It had been going on for some years before it all came to light .....shudder.

My mistake, it was in the south not the north-east.

I suppose at the end of the day it doesn't make much of a difference, and the man in black turns a nice profit

What did he give the relatives as ashes though, the contents of his ashtray?
