A home in New York City filed a lawsuit against a death home after their mother’s casket was reportedly sent to the bad country for burial, according to Fox News.
Carmen Maldonado, who passed away shortly after her 96th day, was meant to be laid to rest in Ecuador beside her father. But, her kids claim that her body was sent to Guatemala by mistake at the Rivera Funeral Home in Corona. ” The home was totally devastated and in shock”, said Phil Rizzuto, the mother’s attorney.
The error was made by the home through a TikTok videos of a Guatemalan community who discovered their son’s system during a funeral service. Both systems had been prepared by Rivera Funeral Home, according to Rizzuto.
The funeral home’s explanation led them to believe that their family’s brain was still inside the Queens building, and they were making justifications for the delay in moving her to Ecuador, Rizzuto said. First, the funeral home denied the mother’s claims, but they afterwards admitted the error after being shown the picture.
The body was recovered from Maldonado’s figure and transported back to Ecuador for interment by Maldonado’s son, who had to travel to Guatemala. Rizzuto expressed anger, stating,” They minimized it, and they told them it was no great deal. You know, it was just a mistake”.
For their alleged misconduct, the home is suing Rivera Funeral Home and its family business. Rizzuto said,” A oversight is one thing, but to then try to cover it up is … a whole different level of misconduct”.
