A tragic mix-up came at a most unexpected and ill-timed moment: during a funeral A New Jersey family was laying their 93-year-old mother to rest, when they say they were told the body of the woman in the casket was not their mother
The revelation solidified what several family members thought throughout the emotional day since the funeral was open casket at the church. They said they even told the funeral director earlier that the person in the casket did not resemble their loved one at all.
The family decided to file a lawsuit for $50 million. They said that those who work at Central Funeral Home of New Jersey and Blackley Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc. failed to follow their own policies to make sure bodies are properly identified. Although News 4 New York reached out to the owners of the funeral homes several times, they have not responded to our requests for comments.
