Planning a loved one\\u2019s burial or cremation is a difficult experience under the best of circumstances. When Diana\\u2019s stepfather, Cactus, gets sick during the early stages of Alzheimer\\u2019s and sees a billboard advertising simple cremations for $695 at Sunset Mesa Funeral Home, he requests that his family cremate him and not spend a lot of money. But when Cactus dies and his cremains go missing under mysterious circumstances, it sets off a series of events that not only exacerbates the family\\u2019s grief, but also tips off a lengthy investigation by Reuters journalists that rocks a small community in western Colorado and exposes the dark, unregulated side of the body trade industry.
