Some of you may remember that my father passed away last month. The last 4 years or so have been difficult, to say the least. The latest issue is that even though he died on 6/18, the death certificates weren't signed until last Sunday. I had arranged for them to call me when the certificates were done and I would pick up them and the cremains together. I got a call this morning offering to deliver them to me. Great! I don't have to make a special trip. Young girl shows up at the door, we do the paperwork, and she goes on her way. I study the death certificates and they are fine. Then I go to put my father's ashes with the rest of the family. What's this? These aren't my father's cremains. They're someone else. Got a call in to the funeral home and told them of the mixup. Saw where the other guy was supposed to go and called them to let them know to check to make sure they didn't get my dad's cremains. Now I'm sitting here waiting to see how they're gonna fix it.
