Suffolk Court jury award for $325,000: Infant's remains were lost and maybe cremated with another lady
John R. Ellement of the Boston Globe reports. A Suffolk Superior Court jury awarded a Boston couple a total of $325,000 yesterday, ruling that they suffered emotional distress when a city funeral home lost and possibly cremated the remains of their stillborn. The boy was one of twins. The company held the infant's remains inside plastic bag in a refrigerating unit. Eventually the family was told the boy's remains had been lost and may have been mixed with a cremated old woman. Can anyone comprehend why a trial like this occurs? It's unbelievable, they actually made the mother and father continue suffering for five years litigating their dead son's dignity.
