The Florida family claims an employee of Stevens Brothers Funeral Home posted a photo of their deceased daughter on Facebook.
A family has filed a lawsuit claiming that an employee at a funeral home took a photo of their dead daughter’s “disfigured body,” and shared it on Facebook.
"To think that you're hiring a funeral home to trust your loved one with, and to have something like this happen, it's a tragedy," Washington told the Florida station.“My baby was partially clothed on a mortuary slab with her hair pulled back,” Washington reportedly said. “...her body had not been prepped for us or anyone else to view.”
“This funeral home owed a duty to these good people to handle this difficult time with dignity and respect for the family and their loved one,” read the statement. “The conscious choice made by the employee at Stevens Brothers take and share a photo of Jakiel's disfigured body, violated every sense of dignity and respect that should have been given to the family and the deceased.
The firm added that there is no active police case regarding the lawsuit, and no criminal charges have been filed to their knowledge
