A Wisconsin woman is suing a Rochester funeral home and Mayo Clinic after her husband’s body was cremated without his family’s consent.
Jennifer Huber’s husband, Tony, died last May; he fell and hit his head while walking up the basement stairs in their Alma home.
Huber said Tony seemed fine when he went to sleep, but he never woke up.
While mourning the death of her husband, she had to deal with another blow.
“My phone rings, and they started saying ‘I’m terribly sorry. We mixed your husband, and he was cremated,’ and I just lost it,” Huber told KSTP. “I just went berserk.”
According to a lawsuit, Tony’s body was brought to the morgue at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
He never ever wanted to be cremated. He said 'I would never want to be burned like that.' He called it burned.
