They gave me fake ashes and charged me more while my son was decomposing just meters away.
Fake Ashes and 300 Bodies: The Funeral Fraud of Funeraria del Carmen in Ciudad Juárez | Footnote
Luis Chaparro speaks exclusively with Mrs. Angélica, one of the hundreds of victims of the shocking mass fraud perpetrated by Funeraria del Carmen and its crematorium in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Her testimony reveals the pain of a double grief and the subsequent humiliation at the hands of the authorities.
Her son's body was found in a state of decomposition inside the same funeral home, after she was given fake ashes and charged for a service that was never performed, with the lie that a cremation had taken place in El Paso, Texas.
Key Points Discussed:
0:49 - The suspicion: Ashes with "ground-up glitter."
3:33 - The funeral home's cynicism: Collecting payment while the body was still inside.
6:30 - The discovery: Mrs. Angélica identifies her son's body at the Funeraria del Carmen funeral home.
6:50 - The double grief and humiliation.
8:15 - The Prosecutor's Office's neglect: No psychological support or reparations.
10:07 - 300 families deceived, neglected, and without justice.
