Excellent NYT article: Remains of 63 Fetuses and Infants Found at Second Detroit Funeral Home

Your link gave me a subscription page. I tried incognito, and the article loaded, and said I had 4 free articles remaining.

In Virginia, many years ago, my OB told me that if a stillborn child weighed 2 pounds, the child must be buried or cremated. Don't know how it is now. Our baby was full-term, but she passed a week or so before delivery. The cord wrapped around her neck. So very. very sad. I feel for these parents, the ones who cared.

illegal Abortion clinic on the side?

Is it possible abortion laws make disposing of stillbirths and miscarriages more complicated? Still that doesn't make sense. I thought maybe abortions too, but why keep the remains?
 
Parents of fetus found at Cantrell sue home, DMC

A Metro Detroit couple filed suit Wednesday against the Detroit Medical Center and Cantrell Funeral Home after learning their child's remains were among 11 infant bodies discovered hidden in the funeral home's ceiling in mid-October.

Whitney Morris and AJ Johnson are the parents of Baby Boy Morris, one of 10 fetuses whose remains were discovered, along with those of a newborn baby, after an anonymous tip led state inspectors and police to search a ceiling crawl space at the shuttered Mack Avenue funeral home on Oct. 12...
