“Wrong man in coffin”
A California family is suing a funeral home after it put the wrong man in the casket and dressed him in their loved one’s clothes.
Amentha Hunt says she arrived at the Los Angeles funeral home to prepare her uncle, 80-year-old Otis Adkinson, for burial when she noticed another man was inside the coffin.
“It was a guy laying there in my uncle’s suit, but it wasn’t my uncle,” she said.
Hunt said she told a mortuary worker, but the worker initially denied the allegation and said it was her uncle inside the casket.
Hunt waited three hours while the mortuary fixed the mix-up before they could bury her uncle.
It is unclear whose body was in the casket dressed in her uncle’s suit.
The funeral home has denied the allegations.
