Funeral Industry News – 17 September 2008

17 September, 2008
By

In this summary: a funeral home employee steals urns, then sells them for scrap; an SC funeral home recovers from an arson fire; and an NC funeral home has its license suspended.

  • There are apparently no limits for some people. A former funeral home employee trespassed in a Florida cemetery, stole over 100 urns, and sold them for scrap. Unbelievable. Even more disappointing is the scrap dealer who apparently blindly accepted this guy turning in 15-20 urns at a time.
  • A South Carolina funeral home is preparing to rebuild after an arson fire over a year ago. They operated out of a nearby church for several months, but are now ready to begin rebuilding. That shows what staying active in your community can do. When Jerry Spears Funeral Home was struck by a fire in 2007, before the fire was extinguished, one pastor offered their church, and within days, other West Side churches had done the same.
  • A reminder from Michigan City, Indiana police: funeral processions have the right of way in Indiana.
  • In Greeneville, TN, a woman collided with the last car of a funeral procession as the car waited to make a turn. True, this was just an unobservant driver, who likely would have hit any car stopped to make a turn, but it did involve a procession.
  • The North Carolina Board of Funeral Service has suspended the licenses of Howell Funeral Home and funeral director Eric Mark Howell. A woman filed a complaint over apparently missing pre-need funds, and in the course of investigating that complaint, the board discovered other irregularities with Howell’s pre-need contracts.
