Family says mistreatment of father's remains was missed warning sign before bodies found in South Chicago Chapel

A family says this mistreatment and mishandling of their father's remains after his death from cancer was missed warning over a year before 55 decaying bodies were found in South Chicago Chapel Family of 76-year-old Ronald Tyler is suing Clark Morgan, his wife Johanna Morgan and Heights Crematory, the cremation business the Morgans operated in Chicago Heights. The family alleges that the mistreatment of his remains was a missed warning sign about a South Side funeral home where bodies would be found over a year later. The Tylers found their father's remains at South Chicago Chapel, operated by the Morgons, 17 months before. The funeral home was under investigation by the Illinois Comptroller's Office when the bodies were discovered. The Morgans have a history of complaints, including when Helen Mercer's family complained about her body being not handled properly at a funeral home in 2020.
