NY pulls license of Brooklyn funeral home that stashed bodies in U-Hauls

State health officials on Friday suspended the license of an “appalling” Brooklyn funeral home that stacked decomposing corpses in unrefrigerated rental trucks, unbeknownst to family members, The Post has learned.

“Following an investigation by the State Department of Health, I issued an immediate suspension order to the Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home in Brooklyn — whose actions were appalling, disrespectful to the families of the deceased, and completely unacceptable,” Health Commissioner Howard Zucker said in a statement, referring to Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Services Inc. in Flatlands.

“Funeral homes have a responsibility to manage their capacity appropriately and provide services in a respectful and competent manner. We understand the burden funeral homes are facing during this unprecedented time,” he added.

“That’s why the state previously issued an order allowing out of state funeral home directors to assist during this crisis and took steps to ease administrative hurdles. But a crisis is no excuse for the kind of behavior we witnessed at Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home, and we are holding them accountable for their actions.”

State investigators are still looking into the “appalling conditions” at the home, and said additional fines are possible.
