A California family is suing a funeral home after it put the wrong man in the casket and dressed him in their loved one’s clothes, and workers even attempted to say the family was mistaken upon being confronted about the error.
Amentha Hunt says she arrived at Harrison-Ross Mortuary in Compton to prepare her uncle, 80-year-old Otis Adkinson, for burial when she noticed another man was inside the casket, according to KCAL.
“It shouldn’t have happened,” Hunt told the outlet. “I didn’t make arrangements there to see the wrong body.”

Hunt said she is still traumatized by seeing someone else in the suit she chose for her uncle.Â
“It’s hurting,” she said. “To view the wrong corpse, I still can see that guy.”
Adkinson, a Memphis native, died on Feb. 28. He was described by his family as a “good ole country boy” who enjoyed fishing, barbecuing, dancing and watching the Los Angeles Lakers, according to his obituary.
