Funeral Home Settles $8.7 Million
Lawsuit Over Uncremated Bodies

An 8.7 million dollar settlement was approved in a federal lawsuit against a Tennessee funeral home over uncremated bodies at the Tri-State Crematory in northwest Georgia. The settlement was reached Thursday as part of the class-action lawsuit against Tri-State Crematory and funeral homes that did business with it. Elizabeth Cabraser, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said some of her clients could receive payments before the end of the year. Posted by Editor at December 5, 2003 02:47 PM
