THE CREMATORIUM: R.C. Horsch Paid His Way In To Film The Dead In Kensington | #WeirdDarkNEWS

Author: Darren Marlar | Weird Darkness September 23, 2026 Duration: 15:39
Years before anyone counted the women missing from 417 W. Chew Avenue, Raymond Horsch was trading drugs and cash for access to the Kensington crematorium at the center of Philadelphia's body-parts scandal, where he photographed and filmed the dead and later hung the pictures in a gallery. Police are looking into it, two women who posed for him have spoken, his son left a five-star Google review for a different crematorium ten months ago, and Eugene Horsch's federal trial has been pushed back to March.
