Funeral homes are no different than any other business. They want to make money and spend little to nothing. And at times like these, the families are not clearly thinking, so they take advantage (some do anyway) and this was it. I hope they all rot in the hot spot for this.

The actions of severing the legs would be a severe abuse of the trust given to them by the family. I would think punitive damages would be likely and fair.
