A funeral home in Colorado was caught selling body parts of deceased persons to research labs, without the knowledge of grieving families. The case is now highlighting loopholes in the United States that allow such trades to exist.
Cases include family members who had loved ones cremated at Sunset Mesa Funeral, according to a June 10 report from The Denver Post, only to learn that the funeral home retained body parts from the deceased that it then sold for profit under a second business that operated from the facility.
