- Two families with relatives buried in Burr Oak Cemetery filed a lawsuit in Cook County Court this morning seeking damages for the "supremely outrageous" behavior of four employees who allegedly dug up hundreds of bodies and resold the plots.
The lawsuit names Arizona-based Perpetua, LLC, Perpetua president Melvin Bryant, the cemetery and the four employees - Carolyn Towns, Keith Nicks, Terrence Nicks and Maurice Dailey - who are charged with digging up the graves.
If the stories are to be believed, this was going on for years and years and no one raised enough hell until now? One-hundred-thousand graves defiled? While we abhor the treatment of the earthly remains, we question the litigious nature of people who see this as nothing more than an opportunity to, quite literally, make money off of the dead.
