Has a funeral home broken trust and impacted the burial of a loved
one through negligence or incompetence? Dordulian Law Group's team
of funeral lawyers is here to help you recover maximum financial compensation.
When a loved one passes away, honoring their memory through a respectful burial or cremation is one the most important steps a family can take. Recently bereaved families place an enormous amount of trust in funeral homes and their employees.
Sadly, many funeral homes abuse this sacred trust. Accordingly, families can be devastated as a result of funeral home greed, incompetence, or negligence. Abhorrent cases of perversion are often reported as well. When a funeral home breaks their sacred trust with a bereaved family, a personal injury lawsuit can be the best way to hold them accountable and ensure justice is served via a financial damages award.
Below we’ll outline the ways in which a family can obtain justice for a case of funeral home negligence.
When a funeral home commits any act which harms another person through recklessness or carelessness, negligence has occurred. This can include an intentional act, an unintentional error, an omission, fraud, deception, and even improper billing practices (hidden fees or surcharges).
Funeral home negligence can appear in many different ways. Funeral home directors and their employees are humans and of course prone to mistakes. Whether your case of funeral home negligence is due to incompetence or negligence, the funeral home attorneys at Dordulian Law group will fight to recover any eligible financial damages on your behalf.

The short answer is: YES. Funeral homes are entrusted with an important responsibility during one of the most difficult times in a person’s life. When their duty to you as a bereaved family member is breached through an intentional or unintentional act of negligence, you may wish to file a lawsuit for financial damages. As a victim of funeral home negligence, you deserve to be properly compensated for emotional harm and other losses. Justice for funeral home negligence cases can involve significant settlement awards or verdicts paid to victims. Depending on the extent of harm endured by a funeral home negligence victim, the final damages award can increase or decrease.
For example, serious instances of intentional acts or overall incompetence can entitle a victim to a substantial cash settlement. Some of the worst types of funeral home negligence can include:

Funeral homes are entrusted with an extraordinary amount of responsibility. The majority of these companies provide their specialized services without any resulting negligence or ill intent. However, when a funeral home does engage in incompetence, corruption, or greed, such actions are simply intolerable. Justice must be obtained for the impacted family.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many families experienced tragic and unfathomable loss. Sadly, instances of funeral home abuse and negligence began to rise. Funeral homes were overwhelmed, and errors – both intentional and unintentional – began occurring more and more frequently. Funeral home operators are even lobbied for legislation to protect them from lawsuits alleging negligence or intentional harm.
Recently, Kentucky’s legislature voted against blocking personal injury claims. However, to protect their interests, funeral homes will undoubtedly continue pursuing legislation seeking immunity from civil legislation. Accordingly, if you are a victim of funeral home abuse of negligence, it is in your best interest to file a claim as soon as possible.
Some common examples of funeral home abuse or neglect include:
At Dordulian Law Group (D Law Group), our funeral abuse lawyers recently handled a claim involving a family who wished to move their deceased loved one from the U.S. to Mexico for burial. Unfortunately, the funeral home failed to take action for over 90 days. The family was unable to achieve closure via a completed burial for several months. We fought and recovered a maximized settlement on their behalf.
This is just one of many scenarios impacting families across the country. Cases involving unrefrigerated bodies, abandoned bodies, assaulted bodies, and more are not uncommon.
Whatever your situation, the expert funeral home lawyers at D Law Group will fight to ensure you receive the damages you are entitled to, and justice is served.
