Houston funeral home ordered to shut down after bodies found in disturbing conditions

A southwest Houston funeral home has been ordered to cease operations after a disturbing discovery of decomposing bodies and a reported stabbing sparked outrage among grieving families. Richardson Mortuary, located on Brookfield Drive, is now under investigation by the Texas Funeral Service Commission after state inspectors found the facility failed to meet building, health, and safety codes. A cease-and-desist letter dated April 14 also cited unprofessional and deceptive conduct and ordered the business to stop operations immediately.
