THE MORTICIAN – Macabre, true crime tale of repulsive acts committed on human remains by fiendish California mortician David Sconce. Operating out of a crematorium in Pasadena during the 1980s and 90s, it is despicable what he was able to do undetected for so long. Even more despicable is when he was finally arrested, he basically got off with a slap on the wrist, leaving countless families devastated twice. The number is in the multiple thousands. He offers commentary throughout this documentary and remains smug, arrogant, and above the law with a complete lack of remorse. He’d do it all again if he could. It’s likely he even murdered several people who were wise to the goings on at his facility and were going to blow the whistle. It’s a tough watch, but I couldn’t look away. It’s an engaging story of forewarning for the rest of us that we need to beware the funeral industry. Personally I want a Viking send off but I think that’s illegal. Cheers!!
