AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/Gray News) - A coroner’s office in Aiken County released information this week about a mistake involving a body.
On Monday, a body was released by a staff member of the Aiken County Coroner’s Office to the custody of a funeral home for cremation.
Well, there's no photo of the employee. Wonder why.
ReplyDeleteLol, I've been saying that for 40 years and we're still playing the same charade.
DeleteAiken !?!?!? No reason to wonder about why there was no photos
DeleteJust use your best judgment… or your worst. No judgement here
Are we sure it has been cremated and not sold?
ReplyDeleteAshes to ashes, your time may vary.
ReplyDeleteThere's still hope for the burned up next of kin of the mistaken char broiled victim . The answer is A tree pod burial involve placing human remains, "either cremated or intact", in a biodegradable pod that is then buried, with a tree planted above it.
ReplyDeleteYoure dead, youre dead. Cremation is neat, clean and doesn’t require quarts of chemicals going into the ground.
ReplyDeleteThis🖕, and it doesn't cost a huge fortune..

All burial requires is a shovel. Everything else is just wasted money. Cremation is a lie to get people to spend thousands of dollars.

DeleteCremation costs 700 to 1200 depending on your location and if you have a container for the ashes compared to.5000k to whatever the funeral home can guilt trip you into.
I agree it's all a scam but if you gotta pay be smart.

It cost me $1200 to cremate my wife's son and that included transportation from the hospital in Hendersonville where he died to the crematorium in Franklin, a distance of about 50 miles by road. I didn't think that was a bad price.
DeleteTo save us a few more bucks, our friend Woody made a very nice custom box for his ashes.
That sounds about right.
DeleteIt's the best price option in my opinion. Neighbor died the last week of June 2024. His wife had him cremated and provided the vase for his ashes.. He died in a hospital so the pickup and cremation was $850. She/we, I went with her to pick up his ashes, it was a 2 hour round trip in her little Mazda SUV, they would have mailed it insured for $20...

Decadent's family probably was having a hard time scraping by and didn't have the means to have a funeral or proper burial. Now, because of the likely law suit arising from this mistake they will get quite a hand up to a better life. And the decadent? They got him turned to dust for free and can just put him anywhere without cost
ReplyDeleteSeems judgemental, we don't know if the decedent was a depraved, corrupt degenerate from the article.
DeleteWatch for 'da fambly' to set up a Go fund Me page for contributions to 'assuage their devastation' ...............via designer clothes, fancy 'ride', and a mansion in a gated community......
DeleteHey, shit happens. You never made a mistake at your job?
