Until the 1940s, the families of the dead would keep their deceased love ones in their homes until the time came for burials. Over 65-years ago, old man Parker, his wife Nancy and daughter Mary, changed all that by providing their home (to these families) for this purpose. The dead would be brought to their home and the mortician would care for the body until the family could get together to say their goodbyes and bury their loved one. They named it The Parker's Funeral Home. The dead passed through the Parker's home for many years until it was closed suddenly after the discovery of what had been going on behind the scenes. The FBI raided the back rooms of the Parker House and seized the home with all its contents in their original state of torture. After more than 20 years of probing and investigations conducted by governmental agencies, the Parker House was put up for sale. It has been reassembled it in its original state in order for you to witness first hand how awful the tortures really were. more...
