In every old neighborhood in Florida there is an old big house that has been converted into a funeral home. In our neighborhood there was one of these funeral homes. It was located on Fremont Street next to the old interstate.  One Halloween back on the mid 1980’s the local West Tampa Chamber of Commerce  asked if they could borrow a casket from a funeral parlor for their planned Halloween Haunted House.

     The funeral director gave them an old casket that had been in the garage rafters for many years. When the volunteers opened the casket there was a mumified body inside! After more investigation there were several other corpses found in this funeral parlor garage! Needless to say the funeral parlor closed. Many state investigations took place and was front page news.

     It was later then remodeled and re opened as a controversial group home with taxpayers monies. Then when the interstate I-275 was expanded it was torn down.

     WOW just think of stories those walls could tell!
