What’s With Keeping Dead Relatives In Your House for Years?
Seriously, people, you know better.
An Austrian woman lived with her deceased aunt’s body in her home for a year, continuing to collect the 96-year-old woman’s pension while Auntie “slumbered” under a blanket in the bedroom. Apparently, the niece could not afford the funeral and burial expenses. Death is expensive.
This isn’t the only case of severe separation anxiety. Recently, authorities found that a man had kept his dead mother in her favorite armchair for over two years. The German man did at least get a death certificate for his mother, but in his grief, could not bear to take the next step.
Loss Is Brutal (healthy ways to deal):

Cool pic ;)
I mean I hate to be obvious, but what about the smell and mess of the decomposition. I mean that’s just nasty. :(

I’m with Brian, the Smell!
Ever have a poor little mouse die in your basement and discover it by catching a whiff of that foul, foul odor?
I can’t imagine what the stench of an entire rotting human corpse in the bedroom would be like! At least buy a cheap freezer and put auntie in there if you can’t afford a funeral.

LOL… Couple years ago I had a possum die under the house in August in Florida… the house reeked, and let me tell you it did not smell any better up close either when I had to go get it out … so I can’t even image the smell and adult human would make :(
