EPISODE 95 - The House Of A Thousand Corpses part 1

Send us a text

The Tri-State Crematory was a family-run business that operated for over two decades, serving funeral homes in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Ray Brent Marsh, who took over the crematory from his father in the mid-1990s, was responsible for handling cremations.
In February 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received an anonymous tip regarding human remains being improperly disposed of at the Tri-State Crematory. A propane gas delivery driver also reported seeing a human body on the crematory's property. Authorities responded and made a grim discovery. Over 300 decaying bodies were found scattered on the grounds of the crematory in various stages of decomposition.

Some bodies were hidden in buildings, while others were left in the woods or dumped in pits. Despite having received bodies from families for cremation, Marsh had not cremated many of them. Instead, he returned boxes of cement powder or dirt to grieving families, leading them to believe they had received the ashes of their loved ones.

The Tri-State Crematory scandal was one of the most infamous incidents in the U.S. funeral industry. It took place in Noble, Georgia, in early 2002 when it was discovered that the crematory, owned and operated by the Marsh family, had not been properly cremating bodies for several years. Instead of cremating the remains, the crematory owner, Ray Brent Marsh, had been storing or discarding bodies in various locations on the property. Hundreds of decomposed and uncremated bodies were found, leading to public outrage and numerous legal consequences.

The discovery came after a propane delivery driver noticed a skull on the property and reported it to authorities. Further investigations revealed that Marsh had mishandled at least 334 bodies. Many families believed their loved ones had been cremated and had received ashes, but it was found that the crematory had given them cement powder or other materials instead of actual remains.

The aftermath included several lawsuits from the affected families, as well as changes in regulations for crematories in Georgia and other states. Marsh pleaded guilty to various charges, including theft by deception, and was sentenced to prison in 2004.
