My family just buried my little sister on Valentines Day 2026. It's still so raw for all of us and I just can't imagine finding out someone did this to her. How disgusting & evil!

Caitlin at "Ask A Mortician" has done several episodes on the human remains industry. She doesn't advocate for the practice. If anyone is interested in more on this topic i recommend her episodes highly. She also has covered other cemetery/mortuary crimes. She's an actual mortician with a wicked sense of humor. Thanks for all you do Annie.

They need to investigate the people on these websites that are buying these remains as well because they’re just as guilty and just as weird as the ones that are selling them, I hope that the police are investigating those people as well and rating them and getting loved ones remains back from them as well put all these freaks in prison where they belong people like this don’t change straight up evil

I agree it is so fucked up that there's a market for human remains. So freaky

I have multiple skulls in my house but they are fake! I wouldn't want to use a person's remains as decoration. 😢

The saddest part is the older remains might not even be able to get identified because there so old there might not be families left to give DNA to verify.

I’m so disturbed. My dad died when I was less than a month old. I visit his resting place frequently. I have literally brought a blanket and spent hours with him. If I found out he wasn’t there anymore…I would never recover. This is so heartbreaking for the families of these loved ones. Praying for all affected by this monster.
