How does he know that the ashes are not that of his wife? Is all DNA material burnt out in the cremation process? It could simply be a mis-labeled urn with the right “person” in it.
Gotta run…I just got an idea to find out the deceased wife’s name, get an urn, get some cement dust, and label it with her name and sell it to the Plaintiff, or the Funeral Home Defendant.
What is sad is that this guy wants to sue over this “mistake”. We all make mistakes. I’m sure this type of thing doesn’t happen often, and whoever is responsible for the mixup is probably very sorry. Should this warrant a law suit. The guys wife is dead. Nothing changes that. We have to start realizing that people make mistakes and sometimes this can be painful. But they don’t always need to be punished. If this was for some reason done on purpose so that the perpetrator could somehow realize some type of financial gain, then I’d say ok….maybe a law suit is in order here. But since that is probably not the case, this law suit should not go forward.
some of you really understand that after 2 yrs, you have already honored your wife – it did not matter which ashes they were. he had assume that it was his wife. so there was no loss of grief or emotion over it. it could have been mislabeled as one of you said. it’s possible that he was given the wrong urn w/o checking the bottom. but if it had label as someone said earlier, why did it take 2 yrs to really notice? how many of us write things on backs of this (photos and such) to help us remember? what if they did forget to label it correctly? it could be the right urn? mistake? we all make those, but does it have to cost someone money? afterall, it did not hurt him. it was probably the urn he wanted his wife to be in. no financial gain over this matter. what happens if he decides to remarry? what happens to the urn the ashes then? — right, out the door anyways. as so should this costing money for a mistake.

How could he tell the ashes were not his wife’s? Don’t ashes look the same?
Why did it take two years for him to look at the bottom of the urn?
