Uvalde Funeral Home Refuses to Handle Shooter’s Services: Report

Funeral homes in Uvalde, Texas have reportedly declined to handle the funeral services for Robb Elementary school shooting suspect Salvador Ramos.

The suspect’s remains have been stored out of town for three weeks as his family decides how to proceed, according to a report by The Houston Chronicle.

📍Uvalde County Justice of the Peace No. 4 Eulalio “Lalo” Diaz Jr., who also serves as 📍Uvalde County’s de facto coroner told the Chronicle, “Once they got to him, the funeral homes in town said, ‘We don’t want to deal with him.’”

“I had to store him for three weeks,” Diaz said. “As the funerals for the victims were going on, I was still dealing with what to do with him. It was a stressful time.”

Three days after Ramos was shot and killed by police who confronted him in a Robb Elementary classroom, the Bexar County medical examiner performed an autopsy on his body on May 27.

However, 📍Uvalde’s two funeral homes, Hillcrest Memorial and Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary, were inundated with handling services for the alleged shooter’s victims.
