SANTA FE — Members of a New Mexico family are suing an Española funeral home after they found their grandmother's brain in the bag of personal effects given to them after her death.
The discovery was made the day after the interment, when relatives "smelled a foul odor coming from the bag" they received from DeVargas Funeral Home and Crematory of the Española Valley, according to a lawsuit filed on behalf of four family members in state District Court in Albuquerque.
The bag had been left inside a family member's truck overnight. When family members opened it, they found, along with the woman's belongings, a separate bag that was labeled with her name and the word "brain," the lawsuit alleges.
"Wouldn't you agree that it was a horrible mistake?" Albuquerque attorney Richard Valle told the Journal. Valle, along with attorney Crios O'Cleireachain, filed the lawsuit. "No loved one's brain should ever be part of those belongings."
The brain has since been buried with the woman's body.

Before the humor gets too far along I would like to say that our thoughts and prayers are with this woman and her family. Their loss is not funny, it is the absurdity of this event and human condition that is

If they had the brains...I would wager they wouldn't do that again.

This should be on a plaque somewhere: “No loved one’s brain should ever be part of those belongings.”
Be careful, some democrat Senator/congressman will no doubt
institute a Post Mortum Health Responsibility Act to
hold Morticians liable for correct organ placement and
cosmetic appeal.
