How hard can it be to scatter ashes into the sea??? Isn’t that easier than storing them in a warehouse and risking prosecution?
How long have they been in business? Check they whole roster.
And why aren’t they posting the owners name and picture. Name them and shame them. Male who ever is profiting off this have to leave the country.
WTF is wrong with people!?!? This is so wrong and disturbing on so many levels.
Dam only 154, slacking
THIS IS CRIMINAL. WHEN , not if WILL CHARGES BE FILED. These people are evil and fraudulent.
Evil never rest’s
pure evil and greedy people
When will there be cuffs put on the owner…? I’ve seen people in cuffs over less….
1 of 1000s wearhouses.. investigate the hurricane Katrina remains
Absolutely Horrible!
This happens with pet cremation…..you don’t get back your actual fur baby. The whole industry needs to be monitored
COFFINS FULL OF CORRUPTION
they probably do that everywhere. how come when they cremate.you cant smell the humans burning?
No, they’re actually Jonathan’s things.. got bored..
Sorriest state in the union, i am not shocked..
Yeah,the crematory that cremated my mom still has her ashes,telling me I owe them 2000$,holding her remains as way to make a poor family pay,but us being poor our lives,my mom made it clear that she is NOT THERE and to not worry about it if we can afford a funeral or even her ashes b4 she died
😂😝🤣😆democrats, smh…
Oh Caitlin wil definitely do a video about this.
This is what happens when you run a crematorium like a shady Kickstarter campaign
Nothing will happen to the business owner because money!
Man, what realm is this? Everything feel hella off.
Cia clone operation
So is that not abuse of a corpse
Their license was suspended in 2018 and again this past January??? The owner, Robert Smith, says he had health and memory problems. How could he transport the bodies and remains all by himself if he was ill? I have a hard time believing at least one employee was oblivious. Smith said he couldn’t produce a record about the unidentified descendants’ deaths or next of kin. The grifter should face time behind bars, as well as any employees involved in this gruesome story.
Buyers Beware #1 rule to follow always! Otherwise fools & 💰 soon parted!🙏🇺🇸🙏☮️🙏🌎🌍🙏
Wow! Now that’s sick.
This is so disturbing. How do you f up something so dead serious??? I have cremated my dogs to be with me when we will all be together and this is disturbing. Gives me one more thing to be worried about.
But but, mah open borders”
Pure sick
This is just unbelievably horrible 😭
Something needs to be done about this terrifying situation
How hard would it be to rent a boat and go scatter the ashes? WTF?
Owners need 160 yrs prison to think about it.
How you know you got the wrong remains how????
It keeps getting better in California.
You might think after what happened in Georgia, officials would watch that type business more closely.
Red Eyed Evil 👹
Jail the ocean view owners need 20years
Crazy 🤯
This is a business that nobody wants to be in… that’s why these things happen. If it was affiliated with a church, mosque, or temple, we wouldn’t have this problem. Capitalism has as many downsides as it does upsides even if capitalism is the only way. Let socialist/communist communities build within the system and go live there. That’s why we had STATES before the Fed took so much control.
White people
Thanks for watching a chopped up news story same format we’ve been using for 40 years
Well at least they weren’t stitching bodies the together…
I guess I was right not to trust the weirdos that sign up to play with dead bodies legally
Can’t trust anyone…so freaking sad 🙁
Can’t god help?
Lol.
This is insane
California is a third world country
Philly worse
Wow !
Corpse hoarding…
Wtf is wrong with these people. Why do you open a business to do this type of business and neglect your duties. Wtf. I’m just blown away…wtf….
“…IF the owner will face any charges”?!?! He better face charges! That’s awful!
Let’s report on ties between FTX , the war in Ukrain, the SVB colapse and the Democratic party next!
How did this company become investigated? What caused the suspicion
The funerary rites of the dead, regardless of who they are…are sacred. They violated their duty as the final carer of the body.
That company is probably involved in organ trafficking.
SMH!😮
Im sure they sold organs as well
shell company, definitely a chop shop
This is just egregiously reprehensible. Monsters.
When I die I want my body to be thrown into a crocodile pit or something. Something free and useful lmao
Just letting work pile up…
We know they actually cremated our mom. They gave us the ashes with the 3 titanium pins that were in her leg. We totally forgot about them until they told us.
THEY WERE JUST WAITING FOR THEIR 5TH BOOSTER…ITS LIBERAL 🤣🤣🤣
Profit and greed strikes again!
What about the 6 bodies? Were they in coffins? Didn’t the smell of decomposition alert people?
Orhan trafficking
Sweet Jesus did say let the dead bury them selves
The current justice system is completely failing. Maybe these guys would work better: 🐊 & 🦁
Class Action Lawsuit!
there just following gavin’s green new deal
This is constantly happening all over the United States.
Why isn’t this in all news networks and why haven’t anyone been indicted for this atrocity that is clearly a violation and fraud, where’s DOJ?.
Seems like families didn’t pick cremated remains and bodies.
Wow.. but California? Not surprised.
What other crimes have they commit? Did they themselves contract their services to cartels?!?! The sheer disrespect to the dead shows their desensitized and lack empathy.
The entire death industry is greed
Again ?!
WTF!?!?!?
Remains of the day
This is horrible this is disgusting owners need to go to jail
Okay. I’m really glad that this isn’t some murder thing.
WTF 🤬
at least they were in a warehouse 😂 That’s nice of them a least they didn’t throw it away
Having relations with all them bodies man ppl are nasty these days
Awesome
Money is key here on how sick and messed up this world is.. brings out the worst in humanity and always will. We need change.. or it continue to only get worse and worser! It’s obvious.
How can this be resolved?? I’d been informed that ashes are near impossible to identify.
Wow! That’s just crazy!😮
Wanna get cursed by the dead? That’s how you get cursed by the dead. (and their alive relatives)
So why isn’t the owner of this demonic establishment in handcuffs and face on a 24/7 news cycle? 🤔.. I think we know why.
stinky
Despicable
No criminal charges ? I’m confused 😐
Caption catfished me
Just waiting for the @AskAMortician video about this to drop…I can already tell she’s gonna have a field day on this one!
It doesn’t matter at that point! Get real people!
Certain crimes you just don’t commit! This another level of chasing the good ole u.s dollar!
