WE'RE A SOCIETY OF STANDARDS, DONTCHA KNOW:

A 31-year-old man and his mother are behind bars after police say the man threw his dead grandfather in the garbage.

You can starve the elderly to death, but go to prison if you mishandle the remains?

Mr. Judd;

Yes, because that means you didn't pay off the funeral industry cartel. As always, follow the money.

Note the mention of that in the story.

The money being why we kill them too.

My assumption is that they killed him.

Sounds like someone took the Monty Python "Undertaker" sketch a bit too seriously.

"Now there's three things we can do with your mum. We can bury her, burn her, or dump her."
