Five bodies and the cremated remains of 22 people were evicted Friday from a funeral home in Pontiac.The remains from the House of Burns Memorial Chapel were delivered to the Oakland County medical examiner's office for storage. A medical examiner's administrator, Robert Gerds, said some of the cremated remains date to the 1990s.
The county will send the bodies to another funeral home if a family member makes a claim.
A pastor who went to the building Friday to attend a funeral service says he disapproves of the timing and the way the eviction was carried out.
Detroit television stations also aired video of caskets being removed. Gerds says no bodies were inside.
Poor souls......

It is interesting how greed turns around and gobbles up the greedy. Big Business, in its constant quest to increase profits, lays off its workers and ships jobs overseas where labor is cheaper. Meanwhile, the middle and lower-income citizens who support Big Business with their purchases and bank accounts get poorer and unable to make future purchases or regular payments for goods and services already rendered. Eventually, Big Business looks around and sees that it has no money coming in and it screams for a bailout! And Big Business gets its bailout, sponsored by those very same middle- and lower-income people, who get poorer still. That is the economics of greed.
