Tennessee Funeral Has cremations suspended after Body Mixup, burying a person in the wrong Grave and not doing the proper cremation.
In this situation it appears that another Funeral Lawsuit will be filed.
MEMPHIS, TN – The State Board of Funeral Directors has suspended cremations at High Point Funeral Chapel after a former employee blew the whistle on a mix up that resulted in the cremation of the wrong body.
When Billie Sue Smith died last June, loved ones thought the High Point Funeral Chapel had fulfilled her wish to be cremated.
Eight months later, Smith’s body was found buried under the headstone of a complete stranger as her daughter Katherine McClamrock looked on.
On Tuesday, the State Board of Funeral Directors suspended cremations at High Point Funeral Chapel until a formal hearing is conducted.
While the state investigates, attorney Jeff Rosenblum is prepared to file a civil suit against the funeral home on behalf of Smith’s family. Rosenblum said he thinks he can win with or without the board’s opinion.
