Sister Legally Keep Mom’s Corpse
A pair of sisters in England who have kept their mother’s corpse in cold storage at a funereal parlor in London for 10 years while they visited her there several times a week have committed no crimes.
However friends of the family are attempting to stop the sisters’ behavior of regularly spending time with their 84-year-old mother’s dead body at the funeral home. The siblings have paid G. Saville and Sons of Wembley to keep cold their mother’s remains for 10 years at a cost of 20 pounds per week, and the funeral parlor also refreshes her cosmetics.
The funereal director says no health or safety violations have been broken, and that the body does not smell. He says there are no laws that say people cannot keep a corpse for years after the death, it is simply normal to bury the body.
