Yesterday, we published a fake story about a Michigan morgue; today we’re running real news that’s even worse: truth once again proves worse than fiction. Our real story, from the Central Michigan Morning Sun, about a mortuary worker in Montcalm County is accused of stealing money people paid for cemetery plots. The woman, Donna Mae Goodsell, was rather inaptly named. She took the money, marked the accounts paid, but never deposited the funds. So, thankfully, nobody lost the spaces they paid for. She was honest in one way. According to sheriff, Goodsell did not overcharge any of the victims.
In Klamath Falls, Oregon, people are worried about loved ones already buried. The Eternal Hills Cemetery is looking less and less eternal. The owner, who has been had its licensed threatened since 2016, now claims is can no longer provide any services. Its license has been revoked and the state declared it in involuntary bankruptcy.

But those who have plots for themselves or have loved ones interred there are worried.
We hope the Churchill Cemetery in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania has their insurance up-to-date. That’s because an SUV driver served into the graveyard early in the morning, and cut a swathe though a few headstones before rolling the truck onto its side.
