Funeral home loses license after chopping off legs to fit corpse in casket

Cave Funeral Services in Allendale, South Carolina is out of business after that state's funeral board revoked its license following the discovery that the mortuary had cut off a tall man's legs in order to fit in inside a casket...

The body of James Hines was exhumed earlier this year because of rumors that circulated after he died in 2004. His widow said investigators told her his legs had been cut off between the ankle and calf to fit the coffin.

If you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, you probably are already shaking your head in disbelief since this is something straight out of his short story "In The Vault".
