Mobile Family Receives $12 Million Verdict in Lawsuit Against a Funeral Home
Mar. 2019
A jury has awarded $12 million to a Mobile family in a lawsuit against a local funeral home.
The family was represented by attorneys Donald Knowlton and Mike Roberts from the Gadsden, Ala firm of Cusimano, Roberts, Mills & Knowlton and attorney Jeff Hester of Pelham, Ala.
“This case is about a funeral home’s failure to respect and honor the dignity of a family member’s life,” said Knowlton.
Hester added, “We are honored to seek justice for this wonderful family.”
The jury returned the verdict on Friday, February 22 following a several-day trial in Mobile County Circuit Court. The jury heard evidence that the funeral home failed to follow the law and their own requirements. Pine Crest was unable to find and provide the cremated remains of a family member.
Pine Crest Funeral Home is an affiliate of Service Corporation International (SCI), a leading provider of death care services and products in North America. SCI has around 24,000 employees and operates more than 2,000 funeral homes and cemeteries.
