Funeral home negligence is a legal term covering a broad spectrum of
malfeasance by those in the funerary profession. A funeral home abuse
(or negligence) lawyer is a personal injury attorney representing clients
whose deceased loved ones have been treated in an unprofessional, disgraceful,
or morally reprehensible manner.

In 2007, a Rohnert Park, CA, mortician lost his license as a result of
improperly storing human remains. The Cemetery and Funeral Bureau of California
discovered that mortician Anthony Villegiante had stored nine bodies in
a warehouse structure without providing adequate refrigeration to prevent
the decomposition of the corpses.
Other examples of funeral home abuse include using improper cremation
methods and incorrect mixing of cremated remains. Funeral home abuse lawyers
have successfully collected damages from funerary professionals for losing
the bodies of loved ones. Some funeral homes have practiced fraud by re-using
expensive caskets supposedly intended for only one deceased individual.
Even misrepresenting the services of a cemetery or cremation facility
can be considered an instance of funeral home exploitation.
The Costs of Funeral Home Abuse
Funeral home exploitation is a violation of the trust that should exist
between the family of the deceased and the funeral home staff. The grieving
family must be able to depend on the professional courtesy and services
of a funeral home in their time of sorrow.
Funeral home negligence rarely produces physical injury. Nevertheless,
funeral home abuse causes great harm to the family and friends of the
deceased. A funeral home negligence attorney specializes in ensuring that
perpetrators of these heinous acts atone for the emotional damages they
have inflicted.
