📰 News we're reading
• Three years later, calls about mishandled remains at funeral home still coming (thetelegraph.com) — Families connected to a now-closed Carlinville funeral home are still calling Sangamon County’s coroner, nearly three years after investigators found mishandled remains there. The scandal spurred Illinois’ new Reestablishing Integrity in Death Care Act, which tightens tracking rules for human remains and aims to prevent anything similar from happening again.
