    I feel very bad for the family, and they should have been told the truth from the get-go. However, if they had to exhume the body to see the damage, common sense would dictate it was a closed casket funeral, and nobody was none the wiser to the body being in the condition it was. Why go through the trouble of disturbing the dead to confirm the body was burnt? Just to get money? Kind of scratching my head here…

    I would love to know who initiated the lawsuit. Bet is was an ambulance chaser.

    Maybe the whole story isn’t here but I have some questions. Why was her body exhumed? Was it for another reason or did they want to see if the employee misrepresented so they could sue? And why the $165,000? The woman had passed so there was no pain and suffering! Like I said, maybe the whole story isn’t here.

    What gets me is that people would name their kid Cletus…

    Well, a boy can get thru life getting ribbed for having a name like “Cletus” with relatively little mental/social anguish; on the other hand, a little girl having to grow up with a name like, say, Agnes? I can hear the “Endora” jokes now…!

    Apparently this fire occured after the funeral and before interrment. If the corpse was singed, we’re talking about a property damage claim with no value. Why anyone would exhume a body to see how much damage it had after death is ghoulish and smacks of one sick puppy of a scumbag attorney. What’s the point? Dead is dead. Is a perfect dead body worth more than a slightly toasted one? “ashes to ashes……”

    Why would anyone trust their loved ones to a funeral home named Gamble?
