May 4, 2010: 40 Bodies found in Riverdale, Md in Garage of Local Funeral Home

A local funeral home in Prince Georges County, Riverdale, Md was shut down when a state inspector found 40 bodies, lying in piles in the garage of the funeral home.  The bodies were meant to be cremated, but instead were thrown into a garage, some leaking fluids and without name tags.  The funeral home will be allowed to to cremate the bodies and carry out funeral services before they are shut down and before their license is officially suspended.  William Chambers, one of the owners of the funeral home, is planning on fighting the license suspension, claiming "We felt we handled things appropriately, but the board felt differently.  We have limited space, and things were in disarray.  It was unacceptable."
