Funeral home BANKRUPT! Bodies EVICTED!

When this happens you KNOW we are into a depression, even the dead are evicted? WOW!

PONTIAC, Mich. — Even the dead can't escape foreclosure in suburban Detroit.

Five bodies and the cremated remains of 22 people have been evicted from the House of Burns Memorial Chapel, a funeral home in Pontiac.

After removal, they were delivered to the Oakland County medical examiner's office for storage early Friday. The medical examiner's administrator, Robert Gerds, said some of the cremated remains date to the 1990s.

  3. Funeral homes are being hit with large increases in overhead and at the same time cremation rates have triples or even higher which is lowering the revenue available to operate. Many in the industry are also in areas where thousands have lost work. Funeral homes may have to depend on counties or state burial payments which are delayed by months and are payed only a fraction of the cost. Also the finacial markets can affect hundreds of millions of dollars of preneed trust dollars which funeral homes have guaranteed. Remember the neighborhood stores towns will have to merg fh's
