Pictures: Blood Pours Out Of Funeral Home Lawn And Flows Down The Street

Find A Grave

Funeral homes are inherently spooky. There's dead people all over, people who work with dead people, and a lot of crying family members. It sounds like the beginning of a crazy horror movie.

For people in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, they were met with a crazy sight: blood spilling into the streets out of a valve in front of Greenoaks Memorial Park.

Bystanders noticed a river of blood flowing out onto the streets and flowing onto a road for a good 20 minutes.

"We sent out both our sewer inspector and our environmental specialists to take a look. We determined that it wasn't a sewer issue and that it was an issue on private property," Adam Smith with the City of Baton Rouge Department of Environmental Services said.

But just because it was on private property doesn't mean it's any more pleasant to look at.

According to authorities, the mixture was both blood and Formaldehyde. It leaked out of a storage tank from behind the building, and employees were seen trying to clean up the blood before the Department of Environmental Services.

"As soon as we noticed it, we were able to immediately stop the leak, clean and disinfect the area," a statement from the funeral home said. "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused visitors to our cemetery."

Authorities confirm that the blood did not make it into the sewer, and that the funeral home was under new ownership and did not have a permit.

"We've been really concentrating on restaurants lately, so we haven't been looking into the funeral homes. But we're going to go ahead and get them signed up for a permit tomorrow," Smith said.
