Lawyers Detail Burial Settlement

The relatives of people allegedly desecrated in the cemeteries expressed their relief or disdain for SCI, the world's largest funeral service company, after lawyers formally announced the terms of the $100 million settlement. Broward Circuit Judge J. Leonard Fleet will review written terms of the settlement, due Jan. 5, before officially approving it. Fleet cited the severity of the allegations against SCI. "When there are events that occur after the interment to resurrect the pain," he said, "this is the most difficult thing of all to deal with." Posted by Editor at December 5, 2003 02:45 PM
