NewzA Dominican family has filed a 16-million-dollar lawsuit against a funeral home located in Washington Heights. The legal action follows allegations that the facility mistakenly provided the family with the body of an unidentified man for a scheduled wake instead of their deceased relative.
According to the allegations, the error was compounded when the funeral home proceeded to cremate the father's remains without the family's consent or knowledge. The lawsuit seeks damages for the distress and professional negligence resulting from the misidentification and unauthorized disposal of the remains.
