A much-loved grandad's body decomposed at a funeral home over the weekend when a fridge switched off. Devastated family members were told they are no longer be able to visit Uriah Pryce, dress him or have the funeral they wanted.
Ashton Funeral Service, parts of Dignity Funerals, in Brixton had been caring for Mr Pryce's body along with seven others which also started to decompose. The elderly man's body reportedly suffered from skin slip - a part of the decomposition process when the top layers of skin become disconnected from the body.
The fault meant funeral home staff were reportedly met with bodily fluids on the floor to clean up when they arrived for work on Monday, August 1. The company is now offering the family a free funeral service. And said it will waive all of their £8,500 costs.
