And you thought at least the dead didn’t have to worry about the Bush economy…

Bodies removed from foreclosed funeral home

PONTIAC, Mich. — The bodies of five people and cremains for 22 others are on their way to a county medical examiner’s office after the funeral home sending them to their place of rest was foreclosed on Friday morning.

Pontiac, Mich. Medical Examiner’s administrator Robert Gerds said the bank holding the note for the House of Burns Memorial Chapel has been working with his office for a couple of weeks to avoid mishandling of the remains. The 50th District Court in Pontiac scheduled the foreclosure to start at 3 a.m. Friday, he added.

"They can’t just push them to the street," Gerds said this morning, referring to the bank. "They’re doing the right thing, or they’re trying to do the right thing. They’re trying to make the best that they can out of this."

When contacted this morning about what families whose loved one is at the funeral home should do, the woman who answered the phone declined comment.

"You don’t want to let nobody know nothing — you just want gossip," the woman said, adding "have a blessed day" before hanging up.

Have a blessed day America.  And remember, republicans are better at managing the economy then democrats.  Because they know that free markets are self regulating…

…and deregulation leads to more consumer choices and lower prices.  Why…since they deregulated Baltimore Gas and Electric here in Maryland, my utility bills have fairly plummeted.   Er…or they would have…if they hadn’t gone up so much…
