Grandmother's body switched at Ill. funeral home
Made Popular Jul 16 2008
Members of a family in Stickney, Ill., say they went to a funeral home to view their 91-year-old grandmother’s body but found another woman’s body in her casket.
Relatives of Lillian Grogan say the stranger was even wearing their grandmother’s dress and favorite bracelet Monday at Mount Auburn Funeral Home.
Grogan had been mistakenly buried. Her family got a court order Tuesday to have her body exhumed for reburial.
The funeral home is owned by Houston-based Service Corporation International. A spokeswoman declined to comment.
The identity of the other woman in the casket wasn’t released.
