The Mortician: Untold Story of the Unspeakable Crimes at a L.A. Funeral Home
The Lamb Funeral Home in Pasadena, California, was once a pillar of the community, a place where grieving families sought solace and dignity in their darkest hours. For generations, its name was synonymous with trust, compassion, and the promise of a peaceful final passage. But beneath this veneer of respectability, a horrifying truth festered-a chilling enterprise of greed, deception, and crimes so unspeakable they defy imagination.
