Joshua Rofé's docuseries The Mortician on HBO follows David Sconce, a funeral home heir who orchestrated a scheme of illegal bulk cremation and body mutilation. Over three episodes, Sconce's lack of remorse becomes evident, painting him as a conscienceless grifter. He escalated cremation volume dramatically by employing unethical methods, often enlisting former athletes with checkered pasts. Sconce's willingness to exploit grieving families, justified by his twisted ethics, illustrates a deeply flawed character at the heart of the funeral industry.
Sconce's operation transformed cremation from a respectful practice to a crude competition, sacrificing dignity for profit and showcasing his complete lack of ethical boundaries.
From the very beginning, Sconce's story reveals a man devoid of remorse, justifying his unethical actions while betraying the trust of grieving families.
