Funeral Home & Crematorium Lawsuits & Settlements in Washington State
Funeral home abuse and cemetery negligence are appalling acts that are frequently more common across the United States. The deceased have no way to protect or defend their body and dignity from physical abuse and desecration. Families that want to honor the memory of their loved one feel defenseless against these horrific crimes. Life celebration services often involve a wake, funeral, burial or cremation. Families look to funeral homes, cemeteries and crematoriums for help during this emotional time. But a few unscrupulous establishments have no respect for the departed, no sympathy for the survivors and mistakes are common as they are only concerned with making as much money as possible.
As cemeteries, crematories, and funeral homes merge or are acquired by other companies, questionable practices for the purpose of cost effectiveness have begun to attract attention. In the past few years allegations of misconduct, corruption, deception and greed have uncovered horrific atrocities that have made national news.
