The body of a Texas man who died in January was allegedly handled so sloppily by a Houston-area mortuary, his family couldn’t hold the open-casket funeral they had planned, according to a $1 million lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
Elena Johnson paid Houston’s Bill Clair Family Mortuary to embalm her husband Sigmund, after which the company would deliver the 81-year-old’s remains to the service, states the civil complaint filed May 20 in Harris County District Court.
