The dead don't deserve this; nor do the living

<quoted text>It is the most horrible thing I have ever felt. I am trying to soothe myself by praying their spirits are at peace but it is so painful to think of their remains being treated in such a way.

<quoted text>This comment is out of line. They picked people who had been dead for years, unmarked graves, and graves that were never visited, by all news accounts. I've only visited my Grandparents graves once, although I loved them. Visiting a gravesite is not my idea of a way to remember them. My father, on the other hand, I see every summer. He wanted to be creamated, and we fullfilled his wishes. Then we dumped his ashes in all the sandtraps and water hazards he never seemed to avoid when we played golf together. We got him into a number of courses, just in case some turn into housing developments. He is where he belongs, and we get out to see him, and always in a good mood. The folks that have relatives at this place are not to be blamed, the idiots scamming the money are the ones to blame. Greedy individuals, with no class, morals, or brains. Let em rot in jail, don't blame the families.

Did anyone see the good side of this? Aside from these poor people getting ripped off, and the obvious disrespect for the dead, at least the perps were engaged in RECYCLING the cemetary plots. Yep! I bet their lawyers will offer a similar defense. Gotta love those lawyers!!!

That's a good point. All the media attention over what happened in Burr Ridge, and it is horrible, and yet the city of Chicago is trying to do exactly the same thing in their runway expansion in Bensenville, in forcibly moving graves that living relatives don't want moved, strictly for money. The only difference is that Chicago has the law on their side. But what they're doing is just as evil.

are beyond reproach!

Cremation is the way I am going to dispose of my loved ones. No chance for desecration. The digging up of these bodies is a disgusting thing that was done. I wonder what the penalty is for this crime.

<quoted text>So you never heard of Adolph Hitler, Josef Stalin, Herrod the Great, King David, Ariel Sharon, Pot Pol, John Gacy, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden? Get a grip, they are dead. Ask Jerry Cruncher. You know the man with the rusty fingers. Go read a little Charles Dickens or Shakespeare once in awhile. I am more concerned why Tom Dart doesn't go after more hardened criminals, since we all are still living? We can sort out the Canasta deck later on with Jokers when we all are in heavan or hell. For right now this doesn't rise to sh-ite in the main scheme of things. Go take on some drug dealers, gun runner gang bangers Dart, then I will take another look at your resume.

Dan Haynes is to blame for this mess is entirely. Hynes failed step in when pre-need funeral funds went sideways.
Danny Haynes lack of action as the fund’s value plummeted, he went to great to ensure no one would find out about it.
