Well, this is certainly a surprise. Some of you may remember me talking about my mom, she died a year and 3 months ago. She requested her body be donated to medical science, which we did and gave her to a medical university.

Well we just received a letter in the mail. It would seem that the funeral home and crematorium that the university had a contract with just had its license suspended a few days ago for alleged deficiencies. The university was contracting this funeral home to handle transport of the remains for cremation.

My mothers body has not yet been used for study by medical students, but its still rather unnerving to know that the people who were to be handling her body just had their license removed for alleged deficiencies in their practices. I thought this was over and done with; hell, I thought her body would have been used before a year passed for that matter. The letter says that it will be used by students within the coming year however.

Rather fucked up wake up call after so much time has passed. I know its only a body, but I'd like to think they were doing things by the book when dealing with the remains of someone I loved dearly ._.;
