“Dead Wrong”

A Memphis, Tennessee funeral home mixed up two bodies, resulting in a deceased man being mistakenly cremated and a woman’s remains buried in a grave in his place. This never would have happened if they had clearly posted signs in the room, “Ashes to ashes,” on one side, “Dust to dust” on the other.

The funeral director wants to try to make it up to the cremated person’s next of kin, but he’s already been burned once.

Setting the fire to the wrong body may yet lead to even more firings.

The funeral home didn’t admit the mistake at first, due to a “Don’t Ash, Don’t Tell” policy.
