When grieving families trusted Michael and Kathleen Coudriet to cremate their loved ones, they had no idea the bodies would never leave the house. What started as a “compassionate, affordable” funeral service turned into something far more sinister—a horror show of rotting corpses, fake ashes, and a house of unimaginable decay.

By the time police forced their way inside, the Coudriets’ suburban home was filled with bodies, some melting into the floors, others wrapped in plastic like a macabre collection. The most chilling part? Many of these families had already held funerals, burying urns filled with fireplace soot instead of their loved ones’ remains.

How did they get away with this for so long? And what kind of mindset allows someone to hoard the dead like forgotten junk? Join Terror Bites as we uncover one of the most disturbing funeral home frauds in modern history—a case where death wasn’t the end, but just the beginning of the nightmare.
