I don't think it is odd. It is fairly common where I live for a placeholder to be put up once services are arranged but before an obit is ready, especially if the family is struggling with putting together an obituary. I'd say the fact this posted over the weekend makes it even more likely they are working on an obit but wanted to go ahead and post service times.
Yes, that's what I wondered, they are showing the visitation times and date at least.
Yes, that's happened in my family before--and with family friends. Picking a service date might have been comparatively easy, depending on how booked the funeral home was and whether or not they were anticipating out-of-state family coming in and needing to wait for them. And the sooner it goes up, the easier it is for people to see it and make arrangements to attend. Even if they got a template for the obituary, it would still take some time to fill in, and they might just not have been ready to face that.
I think this article says all employees were interviewed.
I live 5 miles from the location. My kids play ball at that park located right by the first site.. there’s a junk/tow yard maybe 100feet straight up the road. It has been known for squatters in the past. However, the taxes are only up to date till 2018. This home has been vacant for a while. However, there are not the best apartments maybe 1 mile from the location. This little section of hueytown, isn’t the best.I believe you, about the things you see left behind at abandoned properties. You totally should have bagged Beer Mountain!
In this case though, the MSM articles (links have been posted many times) it appears the resident has only been gone for a few months at best. I'm sure that's plenty of time for any tools, such as a shovel, to be stolen but somehow I'm just not getting that vibe here. I think this house has only very recently been used as a sort of party house and the stuff left behind is still there.
moo.
I was wondering the same thing -- an inconclusive finding. My initial thought upon hearing that her body has been released to the funeral home was that it happened rather quickly for a case and death that presented so many unanswered questions.
Yes - that would be correct. When the date of death is unknown, the coroner/ME uses the date the body was found. Her remains were located on Friday, January 3, 2020.
I have not seen anyone Mom shaming. If anything, I think everyone on this thread has been compassionate towards the Houston family; we are all grieving with them. I think perhaps something was misunderstood. All accounts indicate P loved her family deeply. I hope they get justice quickly and that they receive continued support from the community in the days and years to come.
For those WSers with experience with other cases - should we read anything into that? The fact the funeral home already has PH?
I absolutely agree with this and was quite surprised that it seems to not be allowed. I do not personally view a consideration that someone may not be 100% heterosexual as non-victim friendly. ETA: The more I think of it, that is quite offensive in its own right.
No. After the autopsy is done, there’s usually no reason to hold on to the body.
I was surprised by this as well. I expected that PH would not receive her proper burial until after an autopsy/toxicology report had been completed. My understanding is that all of that normally takes a good bit of time. Is there anyone in this thread who would have expert or professional knowledge on why her funeral could be taking place more quickly than we might have expected? (A coroner, someone who works at a funeral home, anyone who has been involved with determining COD in cases before, etc.)
