Ellenberg Funeral Services on Highway 81 in Loganville closed down almost as quickly as it opened. It is now being reported that the owner, William B. Ellenger III, has had his licenses suspended following a series of bizarre incidents.
According to CBS Atlanta, Ellenberg, who also is the owner of Metro Embalming and Crematory in Conyers, had his license suspended after it was reported that he dismembered an 800-pound body in the Conyers location in order to fit it into the crematory. Conyers police investigated and reported it is not a crime to do so. Permission needs to be sought from the family first, though, and it is reported that Ellenberg did not do so.
Ellenberg appeared on a large billboard on Highway 78 in Loganville earlier in the year advertising the opening of Ellenberg Funeral Services in Loganville. However, it wasn’t open long before it was found to no longer be in operation. CBS Atlanta reports that Walton County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a suicide attempt by Ellenberg on Aug. 15 when he allegedly shot himself in the leg. He also is reported to have threatened the life of a former business partner.
Ellenberg's license was suspended on Sept. 20, but he can appeal the ruling. Ellenberg told CBS Atlanta that his troubles are the result of a woman scorned - the former business partner with whom he reportedly had a relationship at one time.
Burning the evidence is a SURE FIRE way to cover something up. What does a 4X Large crematory go for ? And we are feeding the kids TOO much for lunch. Hummmmmmmmmmmm ?
But it is a dying industry... He just made a grave mistake...
Do dismembered ashes look different? FWIW between this article and Paul Broun's moronic mumblings Loganville has made Fark.com (news aggregator) twice in as many days .A dubious honor to be sure .
He should have said, "Take your fat carcass elsewhere...you're not good enough for MY oven, ya' fat piece of crap." They should give him a medal for even pondering it. FAT PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTING and deserve to be dismembered and burned up.
If I have dropped a giant corpse off to be burnt to ashes I'm really not at all interested in the procedure as long as the result is as expected.
Grant, is that what the family did? Maybe I missed the part of the story where the loved ones backed up their truck, dumped their relative with the understanding that Ellenberg Funeral Services was to do whatever it takes so long as he fit in a jar when they were done? As usual, Sharon Swanepoel from the Patch cheers Grant on for his offensive contributions. You people make me sick! You delete blog contributions when you are personally offended yet put your smiley faces on BS posted by people like Grant who are clearly posting to offend. Is this what PATCH.COM is charging their advertisers for?
I'm simply sharing my personal opinion. It's exactly what the "comments" section is for. Have a nice day
You spoiled my appetite :((
