Menorah Gardens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Menorah Gardens cemetery chain, owned by SCI, desecrated vaults, removed hundreds of bodies from two cemeteries in Florida and dumped the gruesome remains in woods frequented by wild hogs, investigators discovered in 2001. In one case, a backhoe was used to crack open a vault, remove corpses and make room for more dead bodies."

Service Corporation International (SCI), is a Texas-based company operated by a friend of the Bush family. Recently, SCI subsidiaries have been implicated in illegally discarding and desecrating corpses." [1]

The events were covered primarily by the two main South Florida newspapers, Sun-Sentinel and The Palm Beach Post See: Service Corporation International#Scandal.
