Funeral Home Sued After Brain Sent Home in Bag

Posted by samzenpus on from the thought-you-might-want-this dept.

A funeral home is being sued by members of a New Mexico family after they received a bag of their grandmother's personal effects which just happened to include her brain. The brain was discovered when relatives smelled a foul odor coming from a bag they received from DeVargas Funeral Home and Crematory. Funeral home owner Johnny DeVargas says the mix-up is not the fault of his business. It could have been worse. They could have sent her whole head.

    According to the link it's Utah's fault. I guess they have some pretty crazy IP laws there.

    The cost of that cleanup, of course, will be borne by taxpayers, not industry.
