Arlington dead veterans scandal

A funeral home that helps handle veterans awaiting burial at Arlington National Cemetery left corpses in an unrefrigerated garage, hallways and on makeshift gurneys, according to a former embalmer who has given photographs and notes to authorities, the Washington Post reported.

Steven Napper, a retired Maryland trooper said he saw as many as 200 corpses not properly cared for while working at National Funeral Home in Falls Church, Virginia.

Napper's documentation, as well as observations of four others, have sparked an investigation by the Virginia Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers.
