Chrysler Corporation gets a Court Order for a deceased person's body- burial stopped
News 3/09/09- In a bizarre twist on Funeral Cost Chrysler has subpoenaed a dead body. This has added Emotional and Financial funeral cost as the body was snatched after a funeral and right before burial. The family is fighting the court order. The trial was set to begin on March 9th 2009. The person involved has not had a burial.
In an article at The Truth about Cars:
“The trial was set to begin March 9. Unexpectedly, St. John died on February 28. Though he had undergone a painful biopsy to provide a lung tissue sample while still living, Chrysler insisted on taking the body from its burial site before it could be laid to rest.”
This approach seems to be distasteful and disrespectful. It surely shows a lack of respect for the dead. It appears that the law has no respect for persons living or dead.
“Chrysler had asked the court for permission to obtain tissue samples, but the court order was not issued until the day of the funeral. The process server waited until after the funeral but before interment to serve the order, offending the grieving family who claim they caught completely unaware of Chrysler’s request.”
It was a good thing that the process server showed discretion and respect.
What can be learned from this? DEATH and the LAW are no respecter of persons.
Maybe it would have been best if the automakers did not get a bailout and had their own funeral.
