Grandma Found in Storage Unit

A family had a storage unit for about 25 years. The storage facility contacted the family to advise their items would be sold at auction because they were behind on rental payments. The family told the storage facility they couldn't sell the contents because Grandma was inside!

Yep...all prepared for burial and in a coffin.




People store all sorts of things in storage units, but a dead body in a coffin!   I imagine the granddaughter must have asked her mom why Grandma was in a storage unit...that would be my first question. If she knows, apparently she is not sharing it.

According to one report:

Police said the remains will be taken to A Life Tribute, which provides indigent burials from chapels in Largo and Gulfport.

"There are More Important Things in Life," the chapels' website states, "than High-Priced Funerals."

Even after 25 years in a storage facility, grandma receives an indigent burial. Why wouldn't they bury her? It's much less expensive to bury her than to keep her in a storage unit for 25 years. Maybe they didn't have enough money, at any one time, to buy a final resting place for Grandma and so...it was cheaper to keep her.
