Family Gets Grandma’s Brain – A mixup between two funeral homes led to a New Mexico family getting Grandma’s brain in a bag with her personal effects.
The New Mexico family is suing a pair of funeral homes they say gave them their grandmother’s brain in the same bag as her personal effects.
One of the family members says he took the bag, which was unsealed, unaware that it contained the brain, and left it in his truck until after the funeral.
It was only when the family “smelled a foul odor” that they discovered Grandma’s decomposing brain inside the bag with her other belongings.
“We inherited the problem,” says the owner of the New Mexico funeral home, blaming the problem on another funeral home in Utah which prepared the body.
The owner of the Utah funeral home says the brain was removed and bagged because it had sustained trauma.
But he denies lumping Grandma’s brain together with her personal effects, and suspects the New Mexico home of negligence.
And that’s the latest news on funeral home mixup leading to Family Gets Grandma’s Brain.
