Delaware funeral home cremated wrong body, tried passing off another to family: lawsuit
A Wilmington funeral home is accused in a lawsuit of accidentally cremating a person and presenting that person's family with the body of another man for burial, reports Xeres Wilson.
Roland Johnson Sr. died in January at the age of 93. He was born in Wilmington, where he built a three-decade career with the DuPont Co., rising from dishwasher to executive chef, Xeres writes.
“ ‘He was a good dad. He was always there for me, whether it was financially or emotionally,’ said Darla Chase, his daughter.
“Johnson fathered eight children. He was survived by 14 grandchildren and 52 great-grandchildren. As far as his final resting place, he wanted a traditional burial in a casket at Gracelawn Memorial Park cemetery atop the resting place of Mary Eleanor Johnson, his wife of more than 60 years.’’
