Compelling narrative demonstrating perfect application of negative capability. Was this a story of a crime… or of something else entirely? Something that makes us feel icky and squirmy and repulsed? I loathe biased news. But this inquiry shows way more than I ever wanted to know, especially about mortuary science. Loved the intelligence and compassion the story telling team strove and succeeded in offering.

Wow. This show had me feeling all the emotions. Beautifully told. I even cried in the last episode during the ‘scene’ of Brent beginning his running the crematorium. The loyalty he must have had to his family and just getting in over his head. Very good!

The story is masterfully told, beautifully written and narrated with compassion and presented from all sides: the investigators, the people who were deceived as to the fate of their deceased loved ones. And there is the story of a young man who shouldered burdens of a business he didn’t choose and was ill-equipped to uphold. It’s hard to tell family “no” when they have set expectations they demand you uphold. There is one amazing woman here who shares her emotional journey from horror to anger to a desire for justice and ultimately forgiveness. I can’t imagine the horror show these poor investigators have to see when they close their eyes at night or what may trigger the trauma they suffered being boots on the ground. I hope everyone involved can ultimately find peace of mind and heart.

This show touched me in ways I didn’t expect. I live in NW Georgia and remember this very well. The story was so disturbing but ended with some folks demonstrating the grace and mercy that Christians are supposed to extend to others, even when it’s hard. I needed this during this time in our history. Highly recommended.
