Summary: People bring bodies to a scammer's funeral home, and are offered free cremation (a $1000 value!) by donating some organs to a good cause. The family receives burnt-garbage ash, while the scammer secretly sells the entire body to the highest bidder.

And she would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling FBI agents.

Thanks for the summary. I appreciate the craft of this sort of long-form writing, but I also want a quick summary to know if it's worth investing the time to read.

Agreed. The article takes way too long to get to the point. A blurb at the top would have been helpful.

Yeah it's a great article, but on HN at least the headline should be something like "Cremation scam returns fake remains and sells body"
