What this episode covers
In the 1980s, the Lamb Funeral Home scandal became one of the most horrific instances of abuse and moral bankruptcy in the funeral services industry. The cremator, David Sconce, burned bodies at an alarming rate, causing many to question his tactics, which included breaking and extracting body parts before packing bodies into furnaces by the dozens. He also assaulted competitors, possibly murdered one, and later threatened to kill the prosecuting attorney. If that wasn't bad enough, he also harvested brains, eyes, and teeth to profit off the dead— while the next of kin was completely unaware.
