While driving through a quiet neighborhood, I noticed an old building with faded signage and boarded-up windows. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to take a closer look. The front door was ajar, and with a deep breath, I stepped inside.
The interior was eerily silent, with dust particles dancing in the sunlight filtering through cracked windows. The reception area still had chairs neatly arranged, and old appointment books lay open on the desk. It felt as if time had stood still since the funeral home was last in operation.
Venturing further, I entered the embalming room. To my surprise, equipment and chemicals were still present, including bottles labeled “formaldehyde” and “embalming fluid.” In another room, several caskets were stacked, some open and empty, others closed. The most disturbing find was a small, blood-stained child’s casket, a poignant reminder of the building’s past.
In a storage area, I discovered over 35 boxes labeled with names and dates—unclaimed human cremains left behind. The boxes were scattered haphazardly, some covered in dust, others partially opened. It was a sobering sight, highlighting the importance of proper closure and remembrance for the deceased.
