Dead with nowhere to go …

You know crime is bad when there’s nowhere to put the bodies.

For the last few decades, one place has been taking in all of Jamaica’s dead bodies on behalf of the government.  That’s the Madden’s Funeral Home with offices in  Montego Bay and Kingston.

Now there is supposed to be funding for a new public morgue , but I just wonder what people in Madden’s have got to say about what they have seen over the years.

They’ve been clearing up bodies from gullies, holding the hands of children away from the scene of murders and burying Jamaica’s dead for so long and business continues to be as brisk as ever.

    Yes, Jamaica is desperately in need of a public morgue, and I repeat, desperately in need of a public morgue post haste.Hopefully,this will be realized soon, after decades of promises. Also, kudos to the Madden family, for their never ending and industrious application in the business of death, over these troubled and violent years of astronomical death rates in Jamaica.Nuff respect !!
