My fiancée's mother passed away in May. She was given a pauper cremation in Louisville, KY. Burial plans have been made in a different state and they need documentation of cremation. The original papers that were given to the family have been misplaced. After contacting the Louisville coroner's office multiple times to locate the funeral home used at that time, it was finally tracked down and it was located in Indiana. The funeral home has lost all electronic and paper documentation of his mother's cremation. He was told to just "dig" through her ashes to find a dog tag that has a reference number on it. Obviously, he and his siblings are devastated over this and will not do this. Can a lawsuit be placed for Malpractice on the funeral home or the coroner's office since this funeral home was outsourced? Please point this family in the right direction. Thank you.
