56 Bodies Found at Chicago Chapel | Chicago News

Fifty-six decomposing bodies were found neglected at South Chicago Chapel, sparking a class-action lawsuit led by a Texas woman whose father’s remains were among them. The funeral home, already stripped of its license in 2024 for misconduct, allegedly failed to properly label or refrigerate the deceased — including the plaintiff’s father — causing families devastating emotional trauma and violating their rights. Neighbors had reported foul odors for months before the discovery. Authorities are still identifying victims and examining over fifty cremated remains, while police investigate without criminal charges filed yet. A court hearing is set for October 13th.
