The family of Jerry Moon, a man who was terrified of being cremated, had planned a final goodbye at his funeral Monday.
They opened the casket to see him one last time.
But what they found was the wrong dead man.
And Moon was cremated.
“This makes me feel like he was treated as a number, not a person,” daughter Cheryl Moon said.
The wrong man was wearing Jerry Moon's clothes, and a photo of Moon and his wife, Jan, was tucked under the pillow of the coffin.
Officials with Hospice Care in Longview tell KIRO 7 they believe the body mix-up happened after the funeral home took possession of Moon's body. KIRO 7 asked Brown Mortuary for an interview, but officials with their parent company in Houston, Service Corporation International, said they cannot comment on the issue.[/quote]

This is like the opening scene to Death at a Funeral

If there were a perfect reason to sue, I think this would be it.

What a screw up, that poor family.

I was sitting here thinking of a joke I could use to connect this to that but then you just go ahead and say it outright.

At least they didn't cremate his daughter by accident.

I wonder how many times this has happened and no one noticed.

How do you get the wrong person and put the owner's clothes on with a picture of a family that doesn't look like the guy in the casket? The fuck.
