Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted March 13 Site Supporter Share Posted March 13 It’s a sinister story this, just reading about a woman who turned what she thought were her husbands ashes into jewellery turns out his body is still in there 8 months later.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 13 Site Supporter Share Posted March 13 It's weird. At first I thought the story would be about bodies being in wrong coffins. Now they're saying coffins may have been empty- totally bizarre as they will still be there taking up room. To what end- not like they're making any more money.

Not in Crawley Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 So let me get this right. They just kept the bodies instead of transporting them to the crematorium, or they did some but not all? Now folk have ashes that could be relatives, could be a mixture of total strangers or sweepings off the floor? Most odd. But then it is Hull.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 13 Site Supporter Share Posted March 13 4 hours ago, little whitt said: 35 bodies found Is that normal in one I would have thought 3/4 at the most unless there was a Plane crash or something Must have a Massive Fridge Do you think every body goes in a refrigerator? 35 bodies from 3 branches of the same Funeral Directors is only 11/12 per branch. Not unusual I can’t think of any financial advantage to be gained. They can’t be selling off bodies for medical research or other reason because the buyer would then need to get rid of the bodies. An empty coffin can’t be cremated because the staff would notice the lack of bones; particularly femur and skull. They can’t be charging for the funeral but not laying out the money on behalf of the family. Whether burial or cremation the funeral needs to be paid for even if they found a way not to have a body in. The only thing I can think of is them not putting the right body in the corresponding coffin. The police are asking recently bereaved families for identifying features of their loved one. If they find the deceased based on an accurate description of identifiers but the funeral has already taken place then someone’s in the shit; big time.

If a body is sold for medical research, surely the researchers just do their dissections and stuff on them and wouldn't need to be getting rid of them? Well, not straight away obvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's c/o Victor Frankenstein, Castle Frankenstein, Darmstadt, GERMANY It'd certainly be unexpected! I just didn't understand MickyDs reasoning about research facilities not buying any because they'd have to get rid of em. I'm sure there's a more plausible explanation but it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that an unscrupulous, possibly Johnny Foreigner medical institute have been buying their corpses from Hull.

I’m just guessing at what could be going on but getting shut of femurs and skulls would be a bugger. The skin and muscles could quite easily be liquidised and flushed away but big bones; not quite so easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
