This is way more common than you would think/hope. Not like it’s a large proportion of funeral homes or crematoriums doing it, but even 0.1% is a lot of bodies. Especially if it takes years for them to get caught.
Not other than seeing stories like this pop up every few years ever since the first time a local story like this caught my attention, 20+ years ago. You can find many similar stories through Google.
That doesn’t make it common. As it turns out, may of these stories are likely to make the news as they are unusual. I haven’t heard of anything like this happening before but I’m sure its not unique
State lawmakers gave regulators the authority to inspect funeral homes without the owners’ consent last year, but no additional money was provided for increased inspections.
But this way, politicians can say they addressed the problem when campaign time rolls around! The system works!
OP was being sarcastic. This is why you don’t let markets regulate themselves. It was a dig at unfettered capitalism. Even our dead aren’t respected by capitalism.
