Who is at fault? Funeral Home Or VA?

quote:

BATESVILLE, AR (KAIT/KARK) - A funeral home in Batesville faces a temporary suspension after it reportedly cremated the wrong body. According to the NBC affiliate, KARK in Little Rock, the Arkansas State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors held a special meeting Wednesday in which they suspended Willis Funeral Services. According to the funeral home’s attorney, the VA hospital had two bodies and accidentally switched the men’s identities. One man was picked up by another funeral home and was embalmed while the other was taken to Willis Funeral Service and cremated, KARK reported. A temporary suspension order said the state inspected Willis Funeral Services on Dec. 5 and found paperwork errors. The funeral home’s attorney said they have never issued a formal complaint and did not find out about the suspension until it was issued.

So at least 2 people are going to get fired from the funeral this week.

It's not the fault of the deceased, so hopefully their loved ones know it won't affect anything about them in their after life (if there is one).

Must have been quite a surprised family at the wake for the embalmed guys service.

“Wow. Uncle Joe sure looks pale and Italian. I thought we was black?”

Looks like a VA screw up to me.
