When a sacred trust is broken.

Few things are more painful than learning that a loved one’s remains were mishandled. Families place enormous trust in funeral homes, crematories, hospitals, and other facilities to act with care and dignity. When that trust is violated, the emotional harm is profound. We help families hold responsible parties accountable.

Cases we handle

Compassionate, determined representation

These cases are deeply personal, and we treat them that way. We pursue accountability and compensation for the emotional harm families suffer, while handling every step with sensitivity to what families are going through.

A note about deadlines. Strict statutes of limitation apply to injury claims, and claims against government entities carry much shorter notice deadlines. Evidence also disappears quickly. If you think you may have a claim, contact us promptly so your rights can be evaluated and preserved. This page is general legal information, not legal advice about any particular situation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring a claim for mishandled remains?
You may. When a facility’s negligence or misconduct causes emotional harm to a family, the law may provide a remedy. The consultation is free and confidential.
What kinds of facilities can be responsible?
Funeral homes, crematories, hospitals, morgues, and other facilities entrusted with a loved one’s remains can be held accountable for negligence or misconduct.
What does this kind of case cost?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — no attorney’s fee unless we win, and no case costs or expenses if there is no recovery.
How soon should I contact a lawyer?
Promptly. Deadlines apply and evidence can be lost, so early contact helps protect your family’s rights.
