Mishandling of Human Remains

Losing a loved one is hard enough. But when their body is mistreated afterward, it adds an unbearable layer of pain. Families trust funeral homes, cemeteries, hospitals, and transport services to treat their loved ones with dignity and care. When that trust is broken—through mishandling, neglect, or outright abuse—it’s more than a mistake. It’s a violation. And it leaves families devastated, angry, and searching for answers.

No one should have to question whether their loved one was treated with respect in death. Unfortunately, cases of wrongful cremation, switched bodies, improper storage, delayed burials, or other mishandling happen more often than most realize. And when they do, institutions often try to minimize the damage or quietly push families to move on.

With care and discretion, we investigate what happened, uncover the truth, and fight to ensure your loved one’s memory is honored—and that no one else has to endure what you’ve been through.
