		The industrialist George Pullman was buried at night, in a lead-lined coffin within an elaborately reinforced steel-and-concrete vault, to prevent his body from being exumed and desecrated by labor activists.

	Graceland Cemetery Fraud - Timeline
		I, John Bartus, feel that it would have been only common courtesy for the cemetery to call me because they were having problems with the burial, which was their contracted and paid for responsibility (Opening and closing cost and the provider of the vault).
		The letter also gave the cemetery all phone numbers and the times of the day they could call me to advise me that the memorial arrived and was ready for my inspection.
		We believe that Graceland East is directly responsible for these activities because it was the responsibility of your company to supply the burial vault.
