I work at Hospice and death is death and it doesn’t discriminate. I’ve told my family to be good to me while I’m alive and not cry after me in death. I’ve requested cremated with no viewing, no service and no burial. I don’t want no one starring at me saying oh she looks so good or she just didn’t look like herself. Screw that if I’m dead what would you expect!!!
Your 100% correct. That`s why Andy Griffith wanted an immediate burial after he passed away. He did not want any fanfare, nothing. Just straight into the ground. When My sister passed away in 1993, her friends took pictures of her in the casket. Some would say, look how peaceful she looks, look at this, and so forth. It was like a side show, unbelievable.
I'm being cremated but I do hope to have both a Rosary wake and a plain funeral Mass. Before my body is cremated I hope to donate my still useable body parts to the living.
When my grandfather passed, we found during the viewing, stains on the casket bedding. They said it was from makeup powders. We refused that. Then as the pallbearers went around, we found the residue of fluids leaking out. Finally, a sticker under a handle indicated another person. Apparently, they used that casket several times before him. The name on the sticker traced to someone buried weeks earlier. They had to exume that person, and found her in a cheap cardboard box normally used for cremation. Her family too had been charged $4000 for the casket......they found the funeral homes lawyer in Florida....

@@RStark-ek7mh I've seen it also and TO ME it is appealing vs rotting away in a box six feet under the ground. my mother father and grandmother were all cremated and so shall I be.
Because that's a taxpayers expense & no one from the city or state is EVER held accountable for standards. Money is collected and WASTED & pocketed by officials.
Honestly my Friend passed and this company handled his funeral. (May 2012) This makes me seriously ill...His funeral went okay; but just knowing "whats behind the curtain"...
Owner creeped me out at the time but it was too late to back out+ I was so young and exhausted because of my dads passing it never even crossed my mind they were so awful behind the scenes. Just makes coping with the loss of a loved one even more difficult.
Do you really think that anybody who cared would not have come seeking those bodies? No way. during covid this got even worse. I guess hospitals and nursing homes and probably police will send bodies to these places and get overwhelmed. And if no one is paying for a service what are they supposed to do?
The state contracted several local mortuaries, Flint & Detroit, who took over identifying and locating family. After a year, cremation and mass burial.

Before that location operated as Swanson FH, it was the Greene Home for Funerals. The original location was opened on St. John St in 1949, but relocated to its current location on MLK Ave in 1967 (hence the style of the building's architecture). Leo Greene, the owner of the establishment, ran his funeral operations from there until he retired in the mid-1990's and sold the funeral home to O'neil Swanson II. Greene then moved to San Diego, where he lived out the rest of his days until he passed away in 2008.
Wow these type of things do happen. There was a situation here in Baltimore MD who was closed for years with bodies in the walls lile skeleton remains and tons of cremains in the basement. Neighbors for years complained until the funeral board went in there and saw for themselves. Very sad.
I've learned of a recent update in regards to this. In June 2021, state officials shut down Tri County Cremation Services in Ypsilanti due to allegations of improper storage of human remains and unsanitary conditions. O'neil Swanson II, who ran Swanson Funeral Home in Flint, just so happened to be the owner of the establishment as well as another cremation service provider and that he had been running operations without a license; Swanson's mortuary science license was revoked back in April 2018 in connection to the allegations against his funeral home. What I find interesting/ironic is that Swanson's in Flint outsourced their cremations to Tri County Cremation Services, a connection between the two facilities before the latter came under the ownership of O'neil Swanson II.

A friend, FH owner, says they usually aren't picked up due to owing $$. A family will put a minimal amount down and walk away. Additionally a funeral home can dispose of cremains after a year. Usually every year, cemeteries have a mass burial for these situations.
I hope you reported what you found in the hearse to the authorities . The family needs to know their loved one is still there and nothing done with that person , smh

It's like, at least bury the ashes all together if they have too if family members didnt come and get them. Just leaving them behind is just so disrespectful.

@@ceejamm3180 I don't know how accurate that is, because in my medical training, we treat it, even dried blood, as a universal threat. Even if the blood is dry, it's still deadly itself.

I worked as a funeral hostess while in high school and I just wanted to clarify that those empty urns, framed images, etc. are there as sales samples. Those little details- fancy urns, fancy framed prints of the decedent are things that don't cost the funeral home much, but are excellent upcharges. Don't worry- other than the cremains you actually saw, it is unlikely anyone was actually left behind there. It is my understanding that the general practice is to inter unclaimed cremains after a period of time, as one would in a pauper's field.
Morticians and funeral directors are evil. I would do that job for free before I would ever charge anybody. There's a special place in hell for those guys and it's right next to satan
Funeral homes also don't make the kind of money some may think. There's a reason why it's expensive AF! Unless one lives in a region that experiences thousands of deaths per year, with little competition in this industry, funeral homes are not the best investments in terms of business. And you're correct, the money is made in all the extras such as services, coffins, urns, etc. Believe it or not but they're not as expensive as one may assume. Almost all urns, caskets, etc are made in China. Even most tombstones nowadays are made in China. So if you ever buy a stone remember that. Chances are the place you are buying it from, including funeral homes that sell them, are just sandblasting the names into them. Very few places still exist that actually make the stones themselves in North America. It's crazy to think that shipping heavy stones from China is cheaper than making them here, but apparently it is! Some funeral homes will charge you for every phone call you make too. I would suggest staying away from those places btw. But I can see why some funeral homes become corrupted, such as this one. Too much competition, not enough mortalities, etc. And like any business, if you become too desperate and lack in quality of service you'll eventually lose customers.
Great job again! I doubt that photo of the old guy in the cowboy hat was the Cop you said he was. I grew up in Flint - that mug screamed Used Car Salesman if I ever saw one! LOL
I heard a lot of stories about this funeral home that close down people loved ones was in there now and the place is a Bandan you Gotta be careful going into those places they are very old. Biohazard
I can not get it that someone do that to a love one who dies. Every one has the right off human respect and a dissent grave poor of rich, in a coffin they're the same
Thank you for this video whats shocking is how the family members were treated at this FH they were treated like dirt also the amount of vandalism its really sad also all of the products are very dangerous and hazardous they can kill anyone who takes these another thing I have noticed is the state in which this FH is in blood everywhere
Cool find. I was a funeral director in the suburbs of Detroit for 15 years. You got pretty much everything wrong that you described as you found it! I don't expect a novice to know! Sad how people have to destroy, why can't they just leave it aline!
Abandoned central I'm so glad you show the love ❤️ ones" Thank You & show show so much care doing this. That is hard to see this kind of thing going with Love Ones . Thank You 💖 . New SUB"
@James Albright That’s a fallacy. It’s true minority FHs tend to receive more negative media attention in these circumstances. The unscrupulous practices of a limited number of FHs are equally distributed between Caucasians and others. The FH out west that was selling body parts of persons in their care wasn’t minority owned or operated. Just recently, the FH in southern Indiana that had 31 bodies in various states of decomposition, before it was shut down, wasn’t owned or operated by minorities. There are similar stories of FHs across the U.S. (who weren’t owned or operated by minorities). You just didn’t hear about them.
I've worked for a privately owned FH many years ago before SCI came onto the scene. It appears corporate owned FH's are taking over those which are family owned. They don't change the names giving the appearance nothing's changed. Smaller FH's can easily fold if they are fined for violations. Pre-Need violations are common. Families are known to have loved ones cremated & will not come in to retrieve the ashes after many failed attempts at contacting them-so they're shelved. Some families will agree to buy expensive caskets they cannot afford & will opt at the last minute for cremation after loved ones have already been placed in caskets. Caskets cannot be re-used, so there can be units laying around which looked like they were once occupied. The floor drain in the garage is probably where decomposed bodies were drained & rewrapped before cremation. Crematories will not accept wrapped remains where excess body fluids are present. The FH industry is changing and consumers are more aware than ever.
In some states, maybe not yours, you can rent a fancy casket for viewing, then have a far more modest one for actual burial or cremation. Tennessee is one place this practice may be common, even if not strictly legal. I'm sure you know people do things regardless of legality, especially when funeral-sums of money are involved.
Caskets can be reused. Often times you can rent a nicer casket for the funeral and then the body is put into a more affordable casket. That’s why some of them look reused. It’s because they are.
But didn't the family's wonder where their loved ones were or why weren't funerals held bodies in garage for months I mean really doesn't make sense ....
How sad to think they found dead rotting body's how come they never got laid to rest or cremated? The living family members should sue this place how sad for the family and disrespectful to the dead
Those cremation vaults are not for home use. They're used to place an urn inside for burial. Usually the lid of the vault is sealed to protect from water entering it after burial. The large ones shown in the video are deigned to hold 2 urns. When it's time to bury the second urn they exhume the old vault, break the seal, and place the second urn inside. Also some cemeteries require that an urn is buried in a vault. As for the cremains found in the Hurst, I noticed that there was no name tag attached to it. It seems that this funeral home was taking shortcuts and not following protocol/laws for cremation. A metal tag with the name of the deceased, along with an ID number registering their cremation, is placed with the body at the time of cremation. The tag is then retrieved after the body is cremated and is attached to the bag that holds the cremains. Believe it or not but the laws concerning the handling of bodies are very strict. In that industry you have to walk a thin line, and rightfully so.
The small vaults in the basement weren’t urns - they are just miniature vaults used to show the families the differences in shape and color and quality of the vaults that caskets go in upon burial. They’re just small because entire vaults take up too much space and wouldn’t fit in a display or showroom. Also like another commenter said, many of the engraved urns are likely samples or displays. The same goes for the headstones/markers. I design those for a funeral home and cemetery, and the ones inside are always examples.
Him referring to the boxes as use for cremains were actually sample vaults for holding the casket, which is placed into the ground...he should do some reseach to know what he's talking about.....
You would think they remove all embalming fluid and body prep chemicals. Those are classified dangerous chemicals. I guess Flint Michigan's Department of Health ain't that great
It's the same Flint Michigan whose water supply is so tainted that people have health complications. Of course they don't give a damn. It also explains why the crooks and vandals tagged and stripped that hearse instead of just hotwiring it or something.
I worked for Swansons Funeral home. He was a close friend to my family. My brother and grandmother funeral was done by Swanson. It’s sad that ppl did this to him. And later opened up there own funeral home. If you know you know
How on earth are they allowed to just walk away from the home and their responsibilities. A complete lack of care and morals. I hope those left and treated so badly haunt those responsible for the rest of their lives.
Please Tell Me These People Owners are In Jail! I can’t believe the People commenting on this Not believing this stuff wouldn’t be left behind, Yes a lot of crap is left behind because the Owners are disgusting 🤢.

Throw me in the oven, toss the ashes in the bin.
When my grandfather passed, we found during the viewing, stains on the casket bedding. They said it was from makeup powders. We refused that. Then as the pallbearers went around, we found the residue of fluids leaking out. Finally, a sticker under a handle indicated another person. Apparently, they used that casket several times before him. The name on the sticker traced to someone buried weeks earlier. They had to exume that person, and found her in a cheap cardboard box normally used for cremation. Her family too had been charged $4000 for the casket......they found the funeral homes lawyer in Florida....
OMG how ghastly. I would think that people could've been in danger being exposed to another person's body fluids and embalming fluid.

It is my understanding that the general practice is to inter unclaimed cremains after a period of time, as one would in a pauper's field.
I cant belive anyones remains at all were left behind. thats evil.
Morticians and funeral directors are evil. I would do that job for free before I would ever charge anybody. There's a special place in hell for those guys and it's right next to satan

Funeral homes also don't make the kind of money some may think. There's a reason why it's expensive AF! Unless one lives in a region that experiences thousands of deaths per year, with little competition in this industry, funeral homes are not the best investments in terms of business. And you're correct, the money is made in all the extras such as services, coffins, urns, etc. Believe it or not but they're not as expensive as one may assume. Almost all urns, caskets, etc are made in China. Even most tombstones nowadays are made in China. So if you ever buy a stone remember that. Chances are the place you are buying it from, including funeral homes that sell them, are just sandblasting the names into them. Very few places still exist that actually make the stones themselves in North America. It's crazy to think that shipping heavy stones from China is cheaper than making them here, but apparently it is! Some funeral homes will charge you for every phone call you make too. I would suggest staying away from those places btw. But I can see why some funeral homes become corrupted, such as this one. Too much competition, not enough mortalities, etc. And like any business, if you become too desperate and lack in quality of service you'll eventually lose customers.
Tons of granite stones are produced in Georgia and in Vermont .
Great job again! I doubt that photo of the old guy in the cowboy hat was the Cop you said he was. I grew up in Flint - that mug screamed Used Car Salesman if I ever saw one! LOL
Haha thanks for watching Kevin!
Definitely makes you want to opt for natural burial or cremation, rather than have your body filled with all that toxic garbage.
I heard a lot of stories about this funeral home that close down people loved ones was in there now and the place is a Bandan you Gotta be careful going into those places they are very old. Biohazard
It's so insane that they leave cremated remains behind.. wouldn't their families be asking for them?
Not if their families don't give a crap
They probably couldn’t pay.
@@alittlewheiser521 lmagine that. That's probably true too. Only money.... Sick people
Some may have had.no.family left alive. I will be the last of my family.
@@christinebutler7630 same here
I stopped drinking tap water after I found out they use normal city drains 🤢
They use normal city drain 😢😢😢
I can not get it that someone do that to a love one who dies. Every one has the right off human respect and a dissent grave poor of rich, in a coffin they're the same
This a situation of bad ownership and bad business this is so sad
GOD have mercy on those people did that type of stuff plus may GOD ALMIGHTY himself bless those family s who had lovd one's in that place
God does not exist
@@t3mpomusic How dare you!! God will punish you for that statement!! Start praying NOW!!!✝️
@@t3mpomusic yeah he does
@@t3mpomusic GOD ALMIGHTY is a spirit. I worship him in spirit and truth.
There's a TH-cam channel called "legends of History". Have a good look at that.
Disrespectful people who done this
Thank you for this video whats shocking is how the family members were treated at this FH they were treated like dirt
also the amount of vandalism its really sad also all of the products are very dangerous and hazardous they can kill anyone who takes these another thing I have noticed is the state in which this FH is in blood everywhere
I'm not a funeral Director but that was not a neck brace . It's called a head block its to prop the head up.
Cool find. I was a funeral director in the suburbs of Detroit for 15 years. You got pretty much everything wrong that you described as you found it! I don't expect a novice to know! Sad how people have to destroy, why can't they just leave it aline!
When my sister had passed away that was the funeral home that my parents had did business with. We never received her I remains.
Abandoned central I'm so glad you show the love ❤️ ones" Thank You & show show so much care doing this. That is hard to see this kind of thing going with Love Ones . Thank You 💖 . New SUB"
You are so welcome. Thanks for the support! We release new videos every Sunday.
Quite certain the deceased won't be returning to file a complaint
Yum! ugh What a mess! It's not possible! Pious Undertaker! Hope he rots in jail.
How can u b in there without a hazmat suit on???
Besides mold and chemicals there isn't much hazardous. Diseases from the deceased would be long dead.
Ever notice how it’s always the minority funeral homes that get busted for conditions like this.
They can always make a choice to not operate in this manner. Personal choices 🤷. People just don't take pride in their own work anymore, it seems.
It’s not race there’s been white owned funeral homes that have had such violations!
@@RStark-ek7mh lol
@James Albright That’s a fallacy. It’s true minority FHs tend to receive more negative media attention in these circumstances. The unscrupulous practices of a limited number of FHs are equally distributed between Caucasians and others. The FH out west that was selling body parts of persons in their care wasn’t minority owned or operated. Just recently, the FH in southern Indiana that had 31 bodies in various states of decomposition, before it was shut down, wasn’t owned or operated by minorities. There are similar stories of FHs across the U.S. (who weren’t owned or operated by minorities). You just didn’t hear about them.
That was a cool tour, thanks.
I've worked for a privately owned FH many years ago before SCI came onto the scene. It appears corporate owned FH's are taking over those which are family owned. They don't change the names giving the appearance nothing's changed. Smaller FH's can easily fold if they are fined for violations. Pre-Need violations are common. Families are known to have loved ones cremated & will not come in to retrieve the ashes after many failed attempts at contacting them-so they're shelved. Some families will agree to buy expensive caskets they cannot afford & will opt at the last minute for cremation after loved ones have already been placed in caskets. Caskets cannot be re-used, so there can be units laying around which looked like they were once occupied. The floor drain in the garage is probably where decomposed bodies were drained & rewrapped before cremation. Crematories will not accept wrapped remains where excess body fluids are present. The FH industry is changing and consumers are more aware than ever.
In some states, maybe not yours, you can rent a fancy casket for viewing, then have a far more modest one for actual burial or cremation.
Tennessee is one place this practice may be common, even if not strictly legal. I'm sure you know people do things regardless of legality, especially when funeral-sums of money are involved.
Caskets can be reused. Often times you can rent a nicer casket for the funeral and then the body is put into a more affordable casket. That’s why some of them look reused. It’s because they are.
But didn't the family's wonder where their loved ones were or why weren't funerals held bodies in garage for months I mean really doesn't make sense ....
Was thinking the same thing they couldnt have forgotten about them
How sad to think they found dead rotting body's how come they never got laid to rest or cremated? The living family members should sue this place how sad for the family and disrespectful to the dead
My grandad got fired just for smiling and being merry. He said fuck yous if I can’t smile on the job get yourself another funeral director. 😂🇦🇺
Are you from Michigan?
Those cremation vaults are not for home use. They're used to place an urn inside for burial. Usually the lid of the vault is sealed to protect from water entering it after burial. The large ones shown in the video are deigned to hold 2 urns. When it's time to bury the second urn they exhume the old vault, break the seal, and place the second urn inside. Also some cemeteries require that an urn is buried in a vault.
As for the cremains found in the Hurst, I noticed that there was no name tag attached to it. It seems that this funeral home was taking shortcuts and not following protocol/laws for cremation. A metal tag with the name of the deceased, along with an ID number registering their cremation, is placed with the body at the time of cremation. The tag is then retrieved after the body is cremated and is attached to the bag that holds the cremains. Believe it or not but the laws concerning the handling of bodies are very strict. In that industry you have to walk a thin line, and rightfully so.
How do disgusting people like this get away with this crap for so long before the state does something about it?? Absolutely unacceptable.
Complete, total sacrilege. They should be put in jail, for no less than 40 yrs.
The small vaults in the basement weren’t urns - they are just miniature vaults used to show the families the differences in shape and color and quality of the vaults that caskets go in upon burial. They’re just small because entire vaults take up too much space and wouldn’t fit in a display or showroom. Also like another commenter said, many of the engraved urns are likely samples or displays. The same goes for the headstones/markers. I design those for a funeral home and cemetery, and the ones inside are always examples.
Exactly!
I hope the angels Rest In Peace
Him referring to the boxes as use for cremains were actually sample vaults for holding the casket, which is placed into the ground...he should do some reseach to know what he's talking about.....
You would think they remove all embalming fluid and body prep chemicals. Those are classified dangerous chemicals. I guess Flint Michigan's Department of Health ain't that great
They've been in there for years and the police already went in and cleaned this place out lol.
It's the same Flint Michigan whose water supply is so tainted that people have health complications. Of course they don't give a damn.
It also explains why the crooks and vandals tagged and stripped that hearse instead of just hotwiring it or something.
@@abandonedcentral thats a good thing they did that but what about the loved ones remains where they returned to the family
Why aren't u wearing a mask. And gloves??
WTAF they should be thrown in prison.
These are the absolute best videos! Can't get enough of them, ever heard of the House of Wills?
THanks so much for watching! House of Wills was a cool location!
My all there souls rest in heavenly peace amen xxxxxx
How do you get access to these buildings !!!
It's the hair that puts me on edge x
Couldn't the local health department have shut down this facility much sooner?
Forgive my ignorance in protocol regarding public health, etc.
What a POS. he should have been sent to prison for 25 years.
It's disgusting me when some people have no respect for stuffs like wrote on wall of the funeral car.
Great video
Those deceased photos are sad. To pass away and be disrespected after death is just crazy 😢
I worked for Swansons Funeral home. He was a close friend to my family. My brother and grandmother funeral was done by Swanson. It’s sad that ppl did this to him. And later opened up there own funeral home.
If you know you know
Those people need to be in prison for doing that to the Dead
It's not like buying a old mechanic shop, and finding some decent tools that were left behind.
How on earth are they allowed to just walk away from the home and their responsibilities. A complete lack of care and morals. I hope those left and treated so badly haunt those responsible for the rest of their lives.
Lock up
Please Tell Me These People Owners are In Jail! I can’t believe the People commenting on this Not believing this stuff wouldn’t be left behind, Yes a lot of crap is left behind because the Owners are disgusting 🤢. Just like when someone is killed, or killed themselves, You have to pay someone to come clean it out, their cleaning companies for that.
