Family cremates mom - on the BBQ
I may never eat food prepared on the grill again after this story. May none of us ever get so desperate that we do something so creepy and, well, wrong.
A family in Northern California decided to cremate their elderly mom after she died. Hey, lots of people get cremated, right? Yup. Except this was a do-it-yourself cremation. They wanted to keep collecting her retirement checks - to the tune of $25,000 - and disposed of her body on a makeshift barbecue.
The woman’s daughter and grandson were arrested for embezzlement, disposing of a body without a permit, and elder abuse. It’s probable that the woman, Ramona Allmond, died of natural causes at 84 years old.
But the daughter and grandson told police that they left her body on her bedroom floor for a week before cremating her in a fire pit in the back yard. One detective thought they may have been trying to honor Allmond’s wish to die at home and be cremated.
I don’t think she quite had that in mind, though.
This was all discovered when the son wondered what happened to mom. So she died, and his sister didn’t even bother to tell him? Did we mention she died in December?
Seriously, folks, this is all kinds of messed up. If you decide you want to be cremated, you might want to tell your family not to treat it as a do-it-yourself project. We’re just sayin’.
