What are you worth dead?

Most of us prefer not to dwell on what happens to us after after the 'big lights out'.

Our disposal is someone else's concern by then.

But, we trust people in the death aftercare industry to treat our mortal remains with care and respect.

Trust no one buddy...

This true crime revelation about violent, arrogant, rogue mortician, David Sconce, will turn your stomach.

It exposes a highly lucrative industry, involving unauthorised organ removal, multiple cremation, and ash mingling.

Skinned, de-brained, de-toothed, eviscerated, there was often little left of peoples' parents and children before they were crammed into ovens like trash.

For some curious reason I usually dismiss true crime books that have no pictures as I see it as a sign of cheapness or lack of research.

Despite the absence of pictures this work is a detailed, enthralling read...excellent.
