Funeral Scam: They Never Sent Dad Off

From the back cover

Seven days after her father's death, a daughter returns to the funeral home to settle the last paperwork and collect his personal effects. An employee blocks her way, demanding 100,000 dollars for seven days of cold storage and preservation of her father's corpse. But her father was cremated and his ashes interred days ago, so no body could have been kept. When she argues with the receipts in hand, the staff tear them up and threaten to burn her father's belongings unless she pays.

She borrows the full sum from relatives, takes the receipt, and goes straight to the police, accusing the funeral home of never sending her father off properly. When officers arrive, the employee panics and fetches his manager, Mr. Lawson, who insists the cremation was handled correctly and calls her irrational. She answers with the storage receipt, demanding that the home now return her father's body to her without a single hair out of place.

Pinned between a system that will not admit error and men who will not listen, she must force the truth out of a place that profits from the dead.
