STICKNEY, Ill. (AP) - A family from suburban Chicago says they
arrived at a funeral home Monday to view their 91-year-old
grandmother's body, but instead found another woman in the casket.
Even worse, the family of Lillian Grogan says the stranger had
on the grandmother's dress and favorite bracelet. They claim the
mix-up happened because the funeral home incorrectly tagged Grogan
and another woman.
By the time it was noticed, Grogan had already been buried. Her
family got a court order to have the body exhumed yesterday, and
she'll be reburied.
A spokeswoman for the company that owns the funeral home
declined to discuss the incident.
