Well This is Unpleasant
How can you be this unable to complete your job?
The discovery of over 50 decomposing bodies in a South Deering funeral home was not the first time its business’ operators were found to have mishandled remains.
Last year, state officials shut down a Chicago Heights crematory, also operated by Clark and Johanna Morgan, amid allegations they had mishandled around 100 bodies at the facility.
That business was permanently shut down by state officials and nearly two dozen lawsuits were filed against the Morgans in the wake of the investigation.
But they continued to operate South Chicago Chapel at 2939 E. 95th St., and now dozens more families find themselves in the same position demanding answers from the Morgans and seeking accountability for their deceased loved ones.
Fifty-six bodies, openly decomposing, infested and being eaten by bugs and rodents.
NOT the first time this couple was caught mishandling the dead.
But somehow they slipped through the cracks, continued operating with out licenses or authorization, exploiting the bereaved and ....
What the actual f@#$?

They treat their living AND their dead the same. Like shit. Unfuckin' real.
Years ago, in the 11th District, Leak and Sons had a funeral home on south Sacramento Blvd. Several bodies were found there after the families couldn’t pay for the funerals. Some had been there for years.
$5,000 they were charging for cremation. Money collected, ashes from something, but no cremation. All profits
With all the govermental agencies here in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois that oversee and that are supposed to govern the funeral home and crematory operations they failed to do so. This husband and wife, Clark & Johanna Morgan, owners of South Chicago Chapel, should have been arrested when it was found that they also operated a crematory in Chicago Heights about a year ago when they couldn't account for over 100 bodies. Families still don't know what happened to their loved ones. This funeral home had 56 bodies that were decomposed and now more people are looking for their loved ones. Some of the neighbors said the stench had been going on for a year near the funeral home. Surely some of those families called government officials telling them they couldn't find their relatives.
So now those government agencies are hopping around trying to recover human remains. They all should have been doing their jobs and inspecting this funeral home and crematory. A lot of people need to be fired and prosecuted. The taxpayers will pay a hefty price to unravel this mess. And so this was allowed in the City of Chicago, County of Cook, State of Illinois, what does that tell you? The same scenario has happened in Chicago over the past few years in other funeral homes and this won't be the last! This story is in the national and international news.
Reminds me of the old cook bros, stack em high, and sell em cheep.
Fifty-six bodies, openly decomposing, infested and being eaten by bugs and rodents.
Chicago....America
Are we at third world status yet ?......asking for my children.
Another lack of oversight by a state agency and no accountability. Illinois is over compartmentalized and nobody takes responsibility.
Just like Pritzker
Tiktoc has a bunch of disturbing videos on this funeral home. One shows a woman arguing with the owner who looks like real scumbag. What if they tied him to a gurney and left him with all the rotting corpses?
Over my dead body
Dead men tell no tales...
WHAT...!!
Was that wrong?
As a retired old timer wagon guy…..most of the funeral homes we dealt with were very well maintained and very professional. But it seems there is a long time scam being run here in Illinois that needs some inspections……
So how do you have any business that is state licensed and have no in person inspections? Let alone close another same type of business to avoid further investigations? Then open another and still not have any in person inspections?
Secretary of State, Illinois Department of professional regulations, Illinois Department of Insurance regulations……how many departments have inspectors? They come out to inspect barbers and hair salons
Here is a suggestion…..just like liquor sales, Marijuana or gambling locations, have spot inspections by local police or State police. We use to do school checks, CTA checks and gambling machine inspections. They have a state license. They need to allow walk through by law enforcement. Sounds like a job for watch lieutenant on days?
Someone really dropped the ball. How does a couple whose crematory was shut down allowed to operate a funeral home??? Typical City/Sate that no one follows through..then you wonder why the dead are allowed to vote!
The smell has been around for how long an NO one reports it??? Goes to show that in the ghetto, life stinks.
but hey,, they do vote democRATic,,, so it's ok
This isn't that rare in certain "communities".
Only civil lawsuits and revocation of licenses by the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation but no criminal charges ?. This one doesn't pass the "smell" test.
"Special People" play by different rules..
If you think that's bad, you should know what they did to the body's when they first got them.
A horror show extraordinare brought to you by DEI...
Seriously, don't funeral homes get inspected regularly? If not, maybe they should!
If they do, WTF happened here?
And after the first license revocation, one would expect that to be The case with any facility those morons ran... but yeah it's the state of Illinois so I guess I'm not surprised.
didn't something like this happen with a cemetery that dart spent quite a while digging up to figure out what was what?
The agencies that should have checked, I'm sure, are top heavy. "I'm on a break" or "I'm off to (a 3 hour) lunch" It is sad, as we all must go that route one day.
Someones palms got greased more likely.
The soft bigotry of low expectations
It sounds like they need a payf task force, doj report, and a state consent decree?
Thankfully the DIO Sgt was there. He’ll figure things out with all his extensive police experience.
Savages, all day long.
54 people that will still vote Democrat this year and next.
See what happens when the owners of these companies die and the business are turned over to the kids. The old AR Leakes used to be good for a fifty dollar "tip" for the wagon crew for every body delivered. They would never allow bodies to pile up since they to get paid from the county. The constant arrival of DOAs would have overwhelmed them if they didn't get rid of em. The kids took over the business and ran it to shit. And the Feds indicting the wagon crews didn't help either..
Makes you wonder why they just didn't sell the bodies to a butcher ...or Burger King !
So that's where my grill ashes have been going....
They must be donating to the right people.
Slipped through the cracks……..
This is Cook County, Illinois home of the Safe-T Act, the rotten to core Cook County Democratic Organization, Governor JB Pigster, CC President Prekwinkle, Conehead the Mayor.
Just because they got shut down last year doesn’t mean they’ll stay shut down. It’s like expecting a dope dealer to quit selling dope just because he got pinched or car thief to quit stealing cars just because he’s on Electronic Monitoring. If no one is checking on you it’s like asking does a tree make noise if it falls in a forest and no one’s there. Or in this case, if you contribute to the organization are you free to do what you want?
There was also a case like this over 20 years ago. It was a black owned funeral home or cemetary not burying the bodies and just throwing them in a wooded section nearby. Some bodies were double stacked and the headstones changed out and It all amounted to the black buisneses owners taking the money and just not following the laws. As I recall the state was handling that case. Is this one on Pritzkers watch?
Wgn was interviewing a tenant who lived nearby. She said she moved in one year ago and noticed the odor on day 1. During the past 12 months someone must have called 911 with suspicious order complaint. What gives?
I thought that foul smell came from the nearby restaurant

Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip.
New Details Emerge in Burr Oak Cemetery Grave Robbing Scandal. Here’s How a Clump of Moss Led to Convictions
It was a scandal that stunned the nation: a macabre story of modern-day grave robbing at a suburban Cook County cemetery, with human remains scooped from their burial sites, dumped elsewhere and the plots resold.
The crimes at Burr Oak Cemetery, a historic graveyard in Alsip, came to light in 2009. Four employees were ultimately found guilty of desecration, among other charges.

The "Babyland" section just disappeared. I felt so sorry for the poor ladies with their sore feet, walking and walking, trying to find loved ones. FBI was out there too, ground-penetrating radar and stuff, drawing grids, planting marker flags, and re-mapping the whole place and trying to match things with what records maybe still existed.
Besides all that it was a polling place.
Ask any old time wagon men about those things.
No criminal charges yet….
Southside chapel is now boarded up and 54xx executed a search warrant there yesterday. So many boxes brought out…
$700 for cremation and nothing else. $3,500 for the works. Check their website
Surely they voted last time around and will.continue to vote in the upcoming.
Spot-on. They're also allowed to play by those rules, while everyone responsible looks the other way.
The funeral home's behavior is so disrespectful to both the deceased and the families. I hope this investigation will bring closure to all involved.
The funeral industry need body woen cameras.
They charge huge li ensung fees.
There is whispers is the shadows that this low life couple, who are scandalous and not trustworthy, was possibly selling body parts and organs. Just a rumor.
Only in Chi-raq, County of Crook. And it made the international news. So proud!
It took over 50 bodies until someone figured out something was wrong?
“Hey, whatever happened to Dad?”
No one said anything?
Does the FD ever do occupancy inspections?
That’s funny. Bravo
And easy to stack obviously
If you own a restaurant or fast food and the city inspectors come in and find food not hot or cold enough they will zing you. If you put out flowers on the public way they will zing you for no permit. But it’s OK to have disappearing bodies and rotting bodies hidden from families in funeral homes and they keep operating. You know these families had to complain to the city. Can’t believe the city doesn’t check these places. The fix must have been in.
Thanks, I am crapping & wondering what to do for dinner. It ain't gonna be Burger King now🤢🤮
It just shows how strong mental illness has run rampant in their community.
“Man involved in crematory controversy was also accused of operating as funeral director unlicensed”
AT: CBS Chicago Youtube.com. Video
Did you ever see a funeral director dressed like this meeting a family member. Macabre!!!!!
They were just holding the bodies until the election so they could vote.
Didn’t know PO working in the neighborhood smell the smell and figure something was off? How many times did cops drive by and not notice anything???
Did the beat coppers not notice the nasty odor?
Ill bet they still voted Democratic.
One would think that after these mortuary people were uncovered with the horrors of what was found at their crematory (and it was covered extensively on the news) these investigative agencies would put two and two together and check their funeral home. Incompetence breeds corruption in Crook County.
The buckets of gold teeth were no where to be found!
311 What's your complaint?
Stench... really bad, over by the funeral parlor...
311... Uh huh... been reported and checked out. Sewer gas... Streets and San is on it...
What’s that supposed to mean?
Burrridge
We need a city run funeral home
Same thing happened around 2010 in 003. Place was called Carter funeral home around 2100 E 75. Last I saw the building was torn down and only the sign remained in the parking lot.
Better call Lovey and Lovey!
In Illinois, funeral homes and crematories are not routinely inspected. Regulators only show up when someone complains or when police or public health are alerted. Leading to this by people who just don't give a fuck.

with human remains scooped from their burial sites, dumped elsewhere and the plots resold. The elsewhere was a huge mountain of dirt in back on the property. They had to sift through that pile and the place was closed for months.
Gold teefuses
Leak and Sons. The same who planted Old Jessie Jackson. Or is he still hanging around collecting dust?.
Bring out your dead!
There's a laundromat nextdoor clean clothes after they were stripped off bodies
Cone head should hire a bunch of his friends to investigate this!!!
any idea what the towing, and storage fees are ??
In all honesty, physiologically, you begin decomposing the minute your heart and lungs stop. Those people let their "loved ones" sit for a month or two at the ME's office. Then when the funeral home gets it, it's already decomposed. Add to that the famblys don't gots no money, So the body sits and rots further. It's par for the course with those people.
250.00 / body
