Marts funeral home shut down as families wonder whose ashes they have

Funeral directors, take note. If you store dead bodies at warm temperatures and are accused of giving the wrong ashes to families, you will be shut down by the state.

Marts Memorial Services learned that the hard way last week. The state revoked the Westport funeral home and crematory’s license after it violated a bunch of rules and neglected to correct them while on probation. Oh, and families are now saying that Marts gave them the wrong ashes and don’t know where their loved ones’ bodies are.
