For at least 6 months, state failed to act on Carlinville funeral director that mishandled remains – Capitol News IL

While trying to assist a local family with retrieving cremated remains in March, Morgan County Coroner Marcy Patterson found an unrefrigerated corpse in the embalming room of Heinz Funeral Home. She filed a complaint with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and then in June followed up on her complaint after receiving a call from another family. It wasn’t until Oct. 5 – days after another local coroner went public with what he found at the funeral home – that the funeral director's license was revoked.
