Oct. 19--Seven New York funeral directors have quietly pleaded guilty since the summer to charges that they helped a biomedical company plunder cadavers for body parts that could be sold for huge profits. The funeral directors admitted to unspecified charges in closed courtrooms as part of a deal to cooperate against four men charged earlier this year in Brooklyn, N.Y., with running the body parts scheme. The guilty pleas were revealed yesterday, as the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office announced a new round of indictments against the four men -- Michael Mastromarino, Joseph Nicelli, Lee Cruceta and Christopher Aldorasi.
