The shocking case in Georgia (USA) attracted the attention of the public after 18 human bodies were found in the funeral bureau. According to Daily Star, some of the bodies have not yet been identified, and the families of the dead have already filed lawsuits, accusing the bureau of horrific violations.
The detected violations to the bureau exceeded all expectations. The Desire Hatch family became one of the victims. She paid $ 1,400 for her mother's funeral, but the body was never buried.
"I broke up more when I found out that her body was one of 18 than when she really died," Desire said emotionally. The family also did not receive death certificates, which adds even more bureaucratic problems to the tragedy.
In addition to human bodies, several bodies of pets have been found in the bureau, adding the question of the scale of negligence. The investigation showed that the funeral bureau worked without any license to open, balsamize or the activities of the director of the funeral bureau. These violations have remained out of the public authorities before the resonant incident. Despite this, no fines were imposed on the bureau, which causes indignation of the injured families. Grugia (GBI) is currently working on the identification of six bodies out of 18 found. Many families who suffered from the actions of the funeral bureau have already sought legal assistance. In their view, the tragedy could be avoided if the state checked the bureau's activities in a timely manner.
This case causes resonance not only in the US but also in other countries, as it raises the issue of responsibility of funeral institutions and control by the state.
