A Jan. 12 inspection of Arkansas Funeral Care in Jacksonville found the funeral home's cooler in its holding facility "filled beyond capacity with bodies," according to a state inspector's report, with two bodies "stacked on top of each other" and other bodies, not embalmed, lying outside the cooler.

In her report to the funeral board, inspector Leslie Stokes noted that during her initial inspection of the funeral home, one body "was strapped on a cot in an obvious state of decomposition, half covered in a bed sheet that was saturated in bodily fluids that had seeped from the body." The same "decomposing body was still on a cot, half wrapped in a soiled sheet, unrefrigerated" on her second visit (Jan. 13), Stokes said.
