grave

If a loved one dies, it means that we will be deeply hurt. Their funerals are also highly emotional. But what if the body of a loved one is lost due to someone’s lack of responsibility?

Two sisters from New York are suing a South Carolina funeral home for $60 million in damages. The sisters complained that the funeral home replaced their father’s body with someone else’s body and forced them to bury him in their father’s grave.

Sisters Stacey Holzman and Megan Zaner decided to seek justice for their dead father, Clifford Zaner. The two have now filed a lawsuit against Fletcher Funeral and Cremation Service.

The two allege that someone else’s body was sent to Mount Ararat Cemetery on Long Island instead of their father’s. The sisters told the media that it left them in great pain and they could not even believe what had happened.

Therefore, the sisters told the media that the funeral home should be held accountable for making their father’s funeral like this. When the coffin arrived, there was someone they didn’t know. Later, they told the staff at the funeral home. The director was also informed about the matter. It was said that the father did not see any beard or mustache. But the reply was that they shave the beards and mustaches of dead bodies. Similarly, the scar of the autopsy on the head could be seen on the dead body. One of the sisters, Stacey, said their father had not had an autopsy.

But later the body was cremated. The funeral home said the sisters had confirmed that the body was that of their father.

However, three weeks later, the funeral home admitted that they had lost the body. Clifford’s remains were later interred in a second funeral in Jacksonville, Florida. Although they apologized, the sisters did not receive any money for the first funeral.

The sisters also say that their father’s body was left in the mortuary without any respect. In any case, the sisters hope that the funeral home will take care not to make such a mistake in the future.
