An Atlanta funeral home H.M Patterson & Son's Spring Hill location in Midtown is being accused of not only same sex sexual harassment but also of fondling the dead as well! As if necrophilia wasn’t bad enough, they say that the same sex sexual harassment is rampant, and that displays of male homosexuality range from male employees aggressively grabbing other male employees’ buttocks to fondling the dead male corpses.
Accusations include making fun of the male corpses in the reposing room, placing them in sexual positions and making comments about their private parts. One example of this was when allegedly an assistant general manager at H.M. Patterson & Son’s Spring Hill location rubbed the crotch of a deceased minister of a prestigious Atlanta church saying, “I bet you’ve never been rubbed like this by a queen before!” All of this is alleged to have happened in 1999.
On one occasion a member of management said in the presence of a deceased man who was lying on his back, that, “We should just roll him over.” It was clear (that he) thought the deceased was sexually attractive and his comment was referring to turning over the deceased to fuck him in the ass!” H.M Patterson & Son and its parent company SCI, says only "It is not our policy to comment on on-going litigation."
