Funeral Home Accidentally Switches Bodies
<snip>
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A funeral home admitted it accidentally switched the bodies of two deceased women, a family member said.

Tracey Meeks said officials from the M.J. Edwards Funeral Home informed her on Wednesday they had mistakenly buried her mother somewhere in West Tennessee the day before. But not without some prodding.

Meeks and her sister-in-law got tired of waiting to view the body Wednesday afternoon before a wake. After complaining, the funeral director pulled them aside.

``I joked, saying, 'What could be the problem, you buried the wrong body?''' Meeks said. ``He turned to me and said, 'Exactly.'

Makes me wonder, just how do you bury your mother but not without some prodding....
