Chicago funeral home has apologized after admitting it made a “mistake” that led to one family burying the wrong person, NBC Chicago reports.
Ella Mae Rutledge recently died at the age of 74, and her daughter told the Chicago Tribune that her mother’s remains fell into the wrong hands.
She discovered the tragic mix-up when she went to Leak and Sons Funeral Home on Chicago’s South Side Friday for a last-minute inspection of her mother’s body, but quickly realized it was someone else.
