A local family is fighting back after a casket they used for their daughter's funeral was sold on Facebook without their permission. Read full story here: www.wftv.com/news/local/orlan...
Please people DO NOT purchase a casket if your loved one is being cremated. You can rent a casket if you want one for a funeral. Please do not waste your money, and this business should be closed.
Especially since it was so cheap at $78.00. Had they paid say $2K I could see them maybe selling it back to the family but not giving it back losing that money.
@@reneamcgee984it’s a wrap, you can peel it off. Still weird to buy it but it could’ve been someone who needed one and didn’t have the $5000 they cost to get a new one. Or they could be doing weird things with it lol you never know nowadays...
When my brother died in a car accident I drove from TX to California desperate to see my brothers body. The morgue told me I couldn’t see his body. I had to find a funeral home to retrieve his body. We found one and paid them for a cremation. I asked the funeral home if I could see my brother’s body. They told me I had to pay $200 an hour to view my brother’s body. I only had $100 so they let us view him for 30 min. They left him in the body bag, his body was defrosting. I wiped some blood from his nose. After spending hundreds I got to see him before he was cremated. Many funeral homes are horrible. Death is a business. Nothing heartfelt about it.
@@calynnmw thank you Sis it was years ago. This is why I have life insurance, death it’s so expensive & if something happens unexpectedly everyone’s family doesn’t have the money. These funeral homes are something else 🥹
@@shereaseoguin3740 Np 🫶🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 And you are absolutely correct! My Mom passed from breast cancer in 2016 and the funeral home would let my siblings and I see her because we didn’t have the money. My grandmother did. They treated us like trash and wouldn’t even let us make choices like where funeral should be held or anything. They are some grimy people working in the funeral industry. Many are legitimately compassionate and do the right thing and even go above and beyond…I pray for those that do families wrong.
An immature one for sure. So much sarcasm in his voice. Very sad to see as the business is where people come to grieve. To be so sarcastically nonchalant. Smh
@@y.7023He started by trying to slickly saying his license number was "f-u" then he transitioned into a sales pitch. Walking away saying nothing or "no comment" would have been the best option for him. He's unprofessional, but probably won't suffer from loss of business unless the state shuts him down. He's making a lot of money hustling desperate grieving people.
“With dignity and class…” “Bird was arrested last month. Police say he stole a rental car.” 💀 Yes. He’s clearly classy in every way. Keeping and selling people’s caskets and stealing cars…
@@destaneehoward lmaoo didn’t even really catch that. I think I was so distracted by his odd demeanor lol. The way he was trying to push that weird fake creepy attitude 😩🥴
@@fictitiousnightmaresstop being obtuse on purpose, it’s not a good look. the mother was told the casket she paid $5k for would be stored for her, and she was lied to. weird how you seem to not care at all about that, but some dude who refuses to let the mom buy the casket back after knowing the history and see the obvious proof on the outside of the casket is very moral and did nothing wrong. you are truly what’s wrong with our country, and when society finishes moving backwards and there’s nothing left, you can blame yourself.
With dignity and class?? With his smug and juvenile comment tells you all you need to know about the kind of people who run this place. My heart hurts for that mom.
Doesn't this mean that the funeral home owes her the price of the casket? She paid for it and he didn't keep possession of it, as promised. It wasn't stolen. He just stopped paying the storage fees. Sue him for the price of the casket and the cost of the customization.
After seeing the owner I'm not too surprised this kind of stuff is happening. You could tell by the way it talked to the reporter that it is one of those arrogant people that thinks it is smarter than and above other people. It had strong con artists vibes, along with several other... I'll go with the word weird, vibes.
@@JesseCase I was trying to figure out what the f his problem was. He acted like he was high as a kite, giggling like a little girl and just being so damn extra. Disgusting piece of rat filth...
how was it their last and final if they was put in a jar? also many ppl would buy a $100 casket rather than payin $5000. Millions of ppl die in homes yet ppl always moving in so why is that not totally disgusting
I feel so bad for this family. Not only did the funeral home screw this up completely, but the man who now owns the casket won't give it back? Why does he even need her casket? That is messed up on so many levels. Give the casket back to her family! They are already suffering enough.
@@LunaLapin-ho5tk the family bought the casket and asked the funeral home to hold it for them (like store it) for use for future family members. If it was left and abandoned I could see someone using it without repercussions but as it is the family trusted this casket to be held by the funeral home and the funeral home let it out of their custody and that's where the issue comes in.
@@speakyourpeace16 Where is the contract, then? You never store items without a contract. You are guaranteed to lose the property. If there was no legally binding contract to store the casket, after a month or so it can be seized and sold. You don't leave your stuff unattended on someone else's property for more than 30 days or so.
She did not pay for it. That is why they still had it. They would not return the calls from collection. The place put it in storage and forgot about it and the storage place auctioned it off. The guy who buys storage rooms, he listed the contents for sale and someone who needed a casket bought it to bury their loved one. The person who bought the storage unit contacted the funeral place to see if they wanted to buy it, they said yes, then they tried to con the guy out of it, and when that didn't work and the police said he owns it fair and square, the guy still offered to sell it back, and the place said they were coming to buy it, but they lied. So he listed it on marketplace The person who bought it, the funeral place tried running the same con, and they were not happy about the former owners trying to have them arrested. They want nothing to do with any of the people involved and I don't blame them. They needed a casket and they bought it fair and legal. The family that did not pay the bills after signing the contract were not duped. They ran a con on the funeral place and robbed them. Now they are trying to get more money. They could care less about that casket or wrap. They got A LOT OF MONEY when she died and they blew through it and now they see an opportunity to get more It is really awful but I saw this happening when I owned my hearse. And budget places like this should not offer a 5000 dollar casket, because no one going to a strip mall funeral is going to be buying a 5000 dollar casket. I know of what I speak. I saw these funerals for 20 years.
Because the Funeral Home put it in storage and didn't pay the rent for the storage. When that happens, the storage can be brought by anyone and everything in that storage will belong to the buyer. The family needs to sue the Funeral Home. This is so sad. If I brought that storage, I would give the casket back.
I'm confused about how her family members planned to use a casket that's so personalized. Sure, anyone can be laid in there, but it would be weird unless they pay more money to wrap it again. The funeral director definitely took advantage of the family. How does he sleep at night?
@m.roberts1120, Presumably, the family wanted to use it just like a rented one would have been. And now by doing that this business has now missed out on that families future cremation business and no doubt much more.
Then again we "RU-vid sleuths" don't really know what happened. We are hearing a one sided story from a news organisation who has got all their facts from this lady. We don't know if she was actually sold a casket or if she paid for them to wrap a rental that they could not sell on so had to repurpose. Apart from the fact kids carry guns, anyone can get a gun, terrible healthcare, a crazily corrupt democratic system, unbelievable poverty... Other than those things, I'd love to be American ;) In Europe funerals cost considerably higher than $5000, so she got a great deal!
That's the most disturbing thing i can imagine. The family should sue that business and not only get the casket back but the money they paid for it. How disgusting of a person to do this to a grieving family.
" A Halloween decoration or a tool box" ?! Wtf ?! Extremely disrespectful of him! Im glad his business got shut down. And whoever purchased her daughters casket is weird af ! Give her family back her casket!
@eileenmcdonald1599 The family wanted a personalized casket for the girl, so rather than renting one they bought one under the agreement that the funeral home would store it for them. Once the funeral home got the mom's $5k for the casket the didn't care what happened to it.
$78 for a brand new casket is a STEAL. It's not weird at all. It's very easy to just have the casket re-wrapped or painted black. Normally caskets cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. He got one for $78. Not bad.
TomikaKelly yeah that’s why they should’ve give it back. The casket was customized to the T and if someone buys one like that they’re 1) very weird 2) they’re not a good person. I’d take the person to court. I can tell you have a similar mentality though.
First of all, my condolences to the entire family. Secondly, anytime a loved one is being cremated (as my oldest brother and two uncles have been), they are supposed to RENT you a casket, not encourage you to buy a custom one. Lastly, what sick, twisted, deranged and inhumane individual would purchase a casket with someone else's name and picture on it? Thats disgusting and the State Attorney needs to step in along with some other agencies! Prayers for the family.
you must believe that the state attorney doesnt have anything better to do with a shooting 10 times a day and whatever else they have going on. Then dead dont mind and all a casket is , is a cheap box built of wood...
You are a fool…. IT WAS IN A STORAGE ROOM THAT THE FAMILY STOPPED PAYING FOR….THAT IS WHY IT WAS SOLD, IF YOU HAVE A STORAGE ROOM YOU FAIL TO PAY FIR THEN IT’S CONTENTS CAN LEGALLY BE SOLD……DID YOU MISS THE REST OF THE VIDEO…..HE TRIED TO SELL IT TO THEM BUT NOBODY SHOWED UP….. FUNNY HOW YOU MISS THAT CRUCIAL DETAIL THERE 😂😂🤦♂️
It's sad because people don't know any better and they're just taking advantage of people who are grieving. When my 24 year old daughter died unexpectedly last year I probably could have been talked into anything if my daughter wouldn't have previously said what she wanted her end of life care to be like. We had a family member who was critically injured in a car accident and she was pregnant and we had to make some tough decisions as a family because no one knew what she had wanted so it's a talk that I had with my kids. I'm glad that I did.
When my sister in law, then her brother , my husband passed away , we had a funeral for both of them . We supplied the clothing, but rented the caskets, because they were cremated after the funeral . This is so sad that this funeral home did this to this family ! Funeral homes have always had a bad reputation for taking advantage of the family in their time of grief. Talking the families into buying things they don't need !! SMH
Hun sorry about your husband and his brother and your sister in law dying this sounds like it was a spirit of death in his family. When people are dying left and right from the same family your supposed to fast and break that covenant with death. If you don’t it continue unless someone raise up and do it or Jesus comes back. If you don’t it can wipe out the entire bloodline. But people don’t know this because they don’t know God and that their a spirit house inside of a body. Usually theses people would’ve been warned in their dreams that this was coming but like God says “My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge. Good would’ve revealed the enemy plans urging them to pray against thus but they sadly thought it was a dream so they didn’t use the word of God to cancel it from manifesting.😢
@@azareya19 I know you mean no harm . But , never assume something that you know nothing about. They were not taking care of things that they had been suffering from for years and years. I won't go into it . The Bible tells us , our bodies are corruptible bodies . But when we meet Jesus, we will have incorruptible bodies . Mean while we must do our best to take care of the bodies we have now . My husband didnt, neither did his sister. But they knew Jesus Christ for the pardon of their sins , so that's all that counts . Judge not , lest ye be judged . ✌️😇✝️🛐
@@RandomRandomnessKCMO it was done this with out the original owners knowledge. The funeral home broke the laws and moved it around. The original owners where just having it stored at the facility. The funeral people got it sold to some one new which is theft and not the original owners fault. The original owners deserve it back, it seems they where even offering the new owners possibly cash for it back as well.
@@RandomRandomnessKCMOyou are just as messed up as the person with the casket. They may not have an obligation legally depending on the laws for stolen goods where they are, but it’s the right thing to do morally. This is clearly a very sensitive situation that they could easily rectify by giving the family the casket back.
@@nameunknown1519 Aww are they just as messed up? Why? Because they didnt agree with you? Awwwww poor baby! Lmfao look at how you "grown adults" articulate yourselves. You sound like children. 🤣🤦♂️
@@nameunknown1519 What if the buyer is in poverty and this was a massive blessing for them to find this because they would have never been able to afford a casket before, and this way they aren't burdening their family financially? All these people saying to give it back need to check their privilege. Life is very hard for a lot of people and getting a casket for less than $100, fair and square as far as their end of things goes, would not be something they could just give up as no big deal. And all these people acting like it's nothing for them to just give it back and pay five grand for a new casket. What? Wow.
Every funeral homes that I’m familiar with rents out a casket for viewing. I have never heard of anyone talking a family out of a rental, and asking them to buy a casket when they’re going to be cremating! That eccentric weirdo preyed on that poor momma’s pain! He should be made to repay the $5000! He made a 4 or 5 thousand dollar profit on it! After hearing the story, the person who bought it should let the mom have it for what he paid! He seems to be as heartless as the funeral director!
What happened, from what I have found is, the family asked for the cheapest option, which is to simply cremate. The family asked for a viewing, and they were told that they offer a rental casket for the viewing. They were shown options for customized personal touches for the rental and they showed the wrap option, which the family said they wanted. So they had the wrap printed, and they did the showing, and the funeral place told them that they had to pay for the wrap. They refused to buy it, and said they were told it too was a " rental" So the funeral place took the casket that was made special for them, with the understanding that they were buying it, not renting it, because it could not be reused, and they put it into storage, because they could not reuse it, and they have been trying to get the family to honor the contract and pay the bill, and take ownership of the casket The family would not respond to the funeral place They waited the required time for the contract, and they then forgot about it, and the storage unit. The storage place did not contact them, so they waited the 90 days and then ran an auction on the storage unit. A person who buys storage units like this as a business, to sell the contents, they listed the casket online. They were then contacted by the funeral place, saying they had forgotten about the storage unit and they wanted to buy back everything that was in the unit. The person who bought the unit said fine, and arranged for a date and time for the funeral place to come and purchase the contents. The funeral place had no intention of buying the items back, and instead made up a fake lawsuit and tried to get the police to confiscate it, but the police saw it was a legal purchase from a storage unit, and the owner of the items then tried again to get paid by the funeral place. The funeral place broke off contact, so the person listed the items on marketplace. A person saw the items and contacted the person and purchased the items from the owner of the storage unit contents. This person did nothing wrong The funeral place then sent a fake legal notice to the new owner after trying to get the police to confiscate it from them. Now, the new owner wants to be left alone and I don't blame them. After having the funeral place try to get them arrested and their property they legally bought stolen, and fake legal document threats, I would not talk to anyone and I would tell everyone to leave me alone. Clearly the person who bought it needs it. They may need to bury a loved one and they are short on money, and they were looking for a casket they could afford. I got in the middle of one of these disasters many years ago when I owned a hearse. The family acted badly and lied about a lot and did not pay the bill, and they got a lot of money from different people at the viewing and could have easily paid. But they were greedy. They got the body disposed of after calling many places to find the absolute cheapest place and they were never going to pay them. I had a very similar situation with my hearse. The funeral place should have gotten full payment up front. I should have done the same. The law is that you are fully responsible for the disposal of the body once you accept it. And I heard other people who were funeral places and hearse owners and even cemeteries who disposed of bodies in dumpsters and put multiple bodies in the same grave One cemetery had 3 funerals and they were not paid by two of the families and they would not return calls and would not take the bodies and the cemetery did not want to loose the money of the spot, so they put the two that did not pay in the third grave after everyone left and filled it in. When the relatives came to visit, there were no markers on the graves, they were not going to pay for a stone, but the cemetery is suppose to put a marker on the spot, and each time a relative showed up they pulled out the file and the bills and they had the marker in the file and they said " Are you the person responsible for the bill that is suppose to be paying?" " no, while who is and what is their name and number and address? The person who is financially responsible is the only person we can talk to about the site and the bill is now 120 days past due, and they need to contact us immediately " Over the months people stopped coming and the people who did knew not to go to the office and ask questions. Eventually they used the site for a grave for someone who paid. During the last few years during the thing of which we can never speak, there were a LOT of unclaimed people. The state had to step in and we can't talk about those facts either. But, I did not know before I owned a hearse how many people don't pay for ANYTHING when a family member dies. They want EVERYTHING for free. This is why the honorable funeral homes all require full payment before they accept the body from the hospital or city. I spent a lot of time on the phone and I was the contact for many of the funeral homes in the area. My phone would ring a 2am and they would be asking about the cheapest options. I would go over each item and they would hang up and a minute latter my phone would ring again, and they would hear my voice and hang up. And again, and they would say, I am dialing different places in different cities, why do I keep getting you? And I explained how it works and they would say " OK give me a list of all the places you answer for" And I explained I could not give them that information They would literally call every single place in the book They wanted the church and the flower car and the hearse and the limos and the priest and a private viewing and valet parking for 500, all for 75 dollars Really I grew to hate my job. I kept the hearse till just two years ago. A 1991 It had 32,000 original miles and ran like a dream. So smooth A pleasure to drive And everywhere I went, people would stop and crowded around the hearse. I was constantly washing greasy hand prints off it. I don't know why people were like that, but a lot of people have zero respect. If you ever see a hearse, please don't go near it. They are not something to gawk at. 😢
@@ocsrc It just made no sense to me why she agreed to buy a casket when the wrap was all she even needed. Many people don’t think straight in these situations, and that’s entirely understandable. Then again, some people are just deadbeats. Unfortunately, I have known people who got quite a bit of cash, in donations, for a loved one’s burial, and blew it on other things. I don’t mean necessities, either. One was for an infant, and the story is still infuriating after 25 years! That’s why most funeral homes, around here, add to the obituary that a family asks, in lieu of flowers, for donations to offset funeral expenses. Most go directly to the funeral home. Sometimes they go into a bank account, but those aren’t always used properly, once they’re cashed out.
@@TinaRN Having worked in the Industry, I have seen this multiple times. They wanted a fancy casket and this is something that I only ever saw in certain communities. I never had people that were my ethnic background ever want or even think about a " wrap" like they do on cars. The standard 200 dollar casket for burial was our budget option. It could be augmented with a lot of extras. The casket that is a rental is a very nice casket. It IS a 5000 dollar casket. In every one of the cases I saw, it was explained in great detail that doing the custom wrap on a casket was a BUY ONLY option. You had to buy the casket and the wrap. We stressed that if they were doing a wrap they should choose the 200 dollar casket. For the honorable places when the family wanted cremation, they almost never let someone buy anything except for the 200 dollar casket, because it was going into the oven. The facility where I saw the service it was a very cold clinical place and there was a seating room and then a inter room and then the cremation room. People would say their own speeches and then the door to the over was opened and the casket was sent in on the rollers. This was only for these specific services where they wanted to be present for the final moments. I am crying thinking about it. It is a very tough service to watch. I don't know why people want these but for them, they stressed the 200 dollar casket. But for a cremation where they were not creating the casket, they would have had to sign the contract that they understand what they are doing. They are purchasing a new 5000 dollar casket and it would have the exact name of the company that made it, the model number and the serial number and color, and that it was being custom wrapped and that they were paying for the wrap and the cost, And it would clearly state that they had to take the casket with the wrap and the time frame they have to do this in. This was a very standard contract that was done every day by the funeral homes. That's why I wanted to see the contract They knew they were buying a casket and which one and the wrap. These places don't offer a loaner casket for upgraded services. I had to deal with these cases a lot. And I saw many times where they would have the service and they would collect all the donations and after all the people left, they would refuse to pay, and they would literally tell the funeral place they were taking the body to another funeral home. And they would load them in their car. They have the option to not treat the body for burial if they are going to be cremated, for religious reasons, and they would choose this option to save money, and they would have an untreated body they were pushing into a rental car. I lost all respect for the human race working in this field. It was always expensive and I really thought some of the charges were excessive. 500 dollars for " bathroom" is obscene. But many funeral homes charge this. And they schedule services to run at the same time, to save money, and they have two different funerals at the same time, one on the left room and the other one on the right room. They would charge for each parking spot. Even when people parked on the city street. And they had a clicker counting each person as they entered. And at the end of the wake they would approach the family member who was the wealthiest and tell them they needed cash for the added expenses. And the churches make as much as the funeral homes. I was horrified to see they charged per guest. And they charged for parking. The funeral homes, most of them don't own hearses. When they would have a paying customer they would call a company like me who owned a hearse and have us come. WE had name plates for the different homes we worked with. For a welfare or non paying client or contract client they would take the minivan and throw the body in the back. I was at a high rise and they thought I was there for a woman who had died and they were waiting out front by my hearse and the funeral home carried the bag downstairs and threw her into the minivan and the people were horrified The scariest call I had, from one of the really cheap places that was way behind on his bills, I had a guy on a yatch call at 4am and tell me to tell the owner to bring the hearse and he had a body, NO COPS, and he needed it cremated tonight, and they were on a lake in a very posh area that has Hollywood and very wealthy people. I passed along the information, that was part of my job, and he went with the minivan and he cremated whoever it was, and got a wad of cash from the guy. Just awful.
@@ocsrc WOW! 😳 The infant I was talking about was stillborn. People had sent the parents about $2500 in cash. The hospital let them leave with the baby, thinking they were going to go to a funeral home for a casket and burial, or a cremation. Somewhere on the two hour trip from the hospital back to their home, they decided to pull over at a random cemetery. I’m not sure what they dug with, but they dug a hole and left the baby there. Apparently, they didn’t think they had done anything wrong, so they didn’t have any problems, telling the family what they had done. This was extended family of the family I was married into, at the time, so I got to hear all the details. I was so angry that I called and spoke to a friend of mine who owns one of our two local funeral homes, and that’s how I learned that the only thing that they could’ve really gotten in trouble for, would’ve been from the cemetery, itself. They may have required a casket, a vault, payment for the plot, etc…. That was the day I learned that, in the state of Kentucky, at least, a vault is not required, nor is embalming. It might be important, to some, to mention that neither parent had a very high IQ. He had even drawn a check, all of his life. That still doesn’t cut it, for me! They had no problem running through that $2500!
@@TinaRN As I mentioned in one of my posts, driving a hearse and dealing with people for the funeral homes and the homes themselves, I lost all faith in the human race. Seeing a LOT of people from the inner cities have services and not pay for anything and they didn't arrange for burial or cremation and they literally loaded the body in a rental car and dumped them in the dumpster at a fast food place. We had a bunch of police calls for body in the dumpter
This is the reason why I don’t want to prepay for anything, when you go to use the service AFTER you are paid in full the place is out of business or some other excuse
That's why if possible arrangements and plans should be made in advance. If the need to go to make plans take a level headed person with you to question everything.
It seems like there are several issues with cremation and funeral service across the nation. There should be additional charges for these people that disregard the deceased.
@kmaj-to4ci yes they do. It makes the funeral home a fence. Receiving and selling stolen goods! The guy knowingly bought it and could be charged with accomplist to the crime as well!
@@crockpot5194things that are bought in storage unit auction don’t usually fall under the stolen property laws unless it’s extremely valuable but it varies by state. The person who bought it may have already buried someone in it with a new wrap on it.
This establishment seems shady because why encourage someone to buy a 5000 casket for someone that's going to be cremated, then allegedly claim they will store the casket for future relatives to use and this young lady's picture and name is plastered all over it, on top of the fact how much were they going to charge them to store this thing indefinitely, This alone seems like they were playing on the emotions of this family because none of this makes sense. But it sounds like the new owner is in possession of stolen property, I think the new owner should give the casket back and sue the funeral home, or the funeral home needs to pay the family back for the casket to make them whole.
@@berlindamoustafa1887 The young lady was cremated, the story said they were encouraged to buy the casket and it could be used for future use by their family.
This is why you always have someone that is not emotional and has your best interest at heart and not the funeral home because they will take advantage of you. It's just business to them.
It’s not stolen. The funeral home failed to pay the fees for the storage unit where it was being stored, which resulted in the contents being auctioned off. It was lost due to incompetence. The funeral home owes her a new one since it was their failure that lost it.
If you didn’t know, you can order a casket online at half the cost or better. My father actually picked his own casket years before he passed, he even prepaid for it. Federal law was passed years ago to allow anyone to pick a casket from any distributor and the funeral home MUST accept it.
Problem is? She wants the one her daughter laid in specifically… this just so sad tho. They owe her some sort of compensation that will just never compare
oh my gosh! Selling it to be used for storage or a halloween decoration! What a disgrace and so disrespectful. It still had the name and pic of her daughter on it?
It was just a wrap. It can be rewrapped. This was very common in the 1970s, people would buy or build their own coffins and use them as storage or as a coffee table until it was time to be put to use.
That's one of the worst things I've ever heard of. The man with the Jesus shirt should be jailed a very long time! And to who ever bought it give it up to this poor family,that was her final resting place.When we bought our mobile home we dug under foundation and found the lid to an old casket. We called everyone but no one had any answers, so we reburied it with a small cross and note explaining situation. I pray new owner will sell it back for fair amount,but mortuary should cover the costs
@@KIMjB72 So because the man is black and he owns a business, it's a problem with ALL black businesses? Should you be assumed to be a thief by a store because the customer who came in a store before you was a thief who was black? By your logic, you should be. Yes, you DO sound crazy and completely nonsensical. How many WHITE businesses have done people wrong, and you blamed it on it being owned/created by white people??? That's the problem with your comment. Just stupid.
I decree and declare the winds from the north, west, east, and south blow strong tornado 🌪 winds to immediately return the casket to the family in Jesus Mighty Name Amen 💥💥💥
Okay, now that the news anchors explained the situation, it's not as bad as I thought. I originally thought the girl was buried in the casket and it was dug up, body dumped and casket resold.
The person who bought the casket but don’t want to give it back like what are they going to do with it. It’s a custom casket of someone’s child, give it back to them.
The person that bought it on FB won’t even give it back? 🤯 What kind of person does something like that? I feel like any decent person with a heart would absolutely give it back without thinking twice.
The reason I would assume they won't give it back is because they need it, as in, they need a casket they can afford and they could afford this. Maybe up until this point they just expected to be put in a cardboard box because they didn't have the money for anything else. I don't think we should judge that person because we have no idea what's going on in their life. There is only blame on one entity here and that is the funeral home.
Omg. If your loved one is being cremated there is no reason to purchase a casket. Reputable funeral homes offer rental caskets to families in need. I’m so very sorry for this family’s loss and then for this insult to be done to them is unthinkable!!! I’m so very sorry.
That’s weird. We cremated my dad and the funeral home told us not to buy the casket being as though he was being cremated. They instructed us to rent the casket. That’s a sad situation and that funeral home definitely need to be held accountable for that.
@@Odyssey636 actually my dads casket would have been 5000 to buy and to rent was only 1000 and it was a top of the line casket. It’s no point in buying it if it was not going any further than our church that his funeral was in. And we definitely wouldn’t even have thought twice about using it for another family member. I think that’s inhumane. But hay that’s just my opinion
This is crazy! I don't understand why anyone would spend that amount of money on a casket, the deceased one has no idea, why waste money, when my sister died, she got buried in that cheap blue box. Funeral homes are robbers. This story is crazy as it sounds.
@@woahbzzz4823They also don't know they have other options. He took advantage of that family. I bet they had a verbal contract for storage, do he could deny it in court.
Not everyone feels the same as you. I certainly wouldn't want a lot of money spent on a casket for myself but that's just me. The problem is the casket was bought and got sold. It should just be given back to the family. Heartbreaking death of beautiful young lady , not right to treat this casket as just any other item bought or sold,its not. Condolences to the family.
My grandfather was also buried in a cheap blue box. Big contrast to his brother's fancy casket. My dad was not nearly as wealthy as his cousins so he couldn't afford the fancy casket.
Smiling funeral director (or whatever you are) recall that: "Jesus forgives, but He remembers too." As a cremator you probably can guess that hell is a whole lot hotter yet.
Why cause the family more pain and trauma by not giving the casket back? Whoever has it should be ashamed of themselves. I’d report them to fb too. That funeral home needs to be shut down. How do they even still have that place open?
They Re-Traumatized that Mom and her family all over again! The person who refuses to give or sell the coffin back to them should be ashamed of himself!
This is heartless, scamming, and preying on the families pain. This business needs to be shut down, the fraudulent director needs to be arrested for fraud. The family should sue him for theft and pain and suffering.😒
