This time the culprits were the cemetery’s own caretakers. Is nothing sacred anymore?
Bodies dug up at historic cemetery
July 8, 2009 (ALSIP, Ill.) (WLS) — More than 100 graves were dug up in the historic Burr Oak Cemetery, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office.
Five people, including a cemetery manager, have been arrested for allegedly digging up the graves and then dumping the remains to make room for new bodies.
Heaps of cement – cracked open burial vaults – lie in the cemetery. In the weeds behind them, sheriff’s police found bones, headstones and other evidence that the dead were dug up and discarded like trash.
“What we found was beyond startling and revolting,” said Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart during a news conference on Wednesday afternoon at the gates of the cemetery in south suburban Alsip, Ill.

Just wait until they have to meet their maker. I would also not want to be in their shoes…you never know who they could have woke up….
MY MOM JEANNETTE JONES IS BURIED IN 1978 AT THIS CEMENTERY, I HOPE THE PEOPLE WHO DID THIS GET SENT TO JAIL FOR A LONG TIME . I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT . ALL FOR MONEY. NOW I KNOW KNOW MONEY IS THE ROOT TO ALL EVIL.
I wonder how this kind of disruption might affect the spirits of these folks. I mean, if any of them were between places (so to speak) and then their earthly remains were desecrated like this… I imagine it would be quite unsettling. Could be some intense spiritual/kinetic activity in store fo the future of Burr Oak.
