Buried.

Gerald Zenith has run the Sommerville Funeral Home in Foote, Ind., for 14 years, aided by Bruce Sheffield, "a thirty-year-old mama's boy who abided by the cliché of living in his mother's basement."

Bruce sexually abuses the bodies of dead women brought to the funeral home. [Extracted from the article]
