This abandoned funeral home was a long standing community staple within a small rural town, but that all changed back in 2019 when the owner was cited for nefarious and shady business practices, causing the state to intervene and shut the funeral home down for good.
During our explore, we were shocked to find several caskets, cabinets full of death records, an intact embalming room, and even cremains left behind. But nothing prepared us for what we discovered inside a couple of the caskets. Horrifically and unbelievably, we found possible blood stains from what most likely would have been deceased bodies that laid inside the caskets at some point in time.
It’s possible that the fluid stains could have been from leaking embalming fluid, however, either way this should have not happened with any body and with everything else that happened here, it may actually make sense especially since the funeral home had already been in hot water for their rather shameful conduct.
The once successful funeral home served the modest community for over 50 years before its permanent closure in 2019. The unexpected closure of the funeral home left many local residents shocked and saddened, and prompted questions about the reasons behind its sudden shutdown.
After the state board came in to investigate they found that the funeral homes owner had been pocketing clients money that was supposed to be set aside for their own funeral expenses or their loved one’s funeral costs. After being heavily sanctioned and fined by the state board, the owner was unable to come up with the money owed and subsequently, the funeral license was revoked.
This decision meant that the funeral home would not only be shut down, but would never be allowed to reopen again.
In conclusion, the closure of the funeral home can be mainly attributed to greed, as well as the internal management and operational challenges that it faced. It is a reflection of the broader trends affecting the funeral industry and the changing landscape of small businesses in rural communities.
Despite the closure, we can only hope that the legacy of the one time reputable funeral home will continue to resonate within the community it served for over 50 years.
And that’s going to take us to the end of the today’s video on the abandoned funeral home with bloody caskets that was closed due to shady business practices.
