Aurora Casket Co. of Aurora, Ind., which supplied the casket to the Taylor Raymond Spear Funeral Home, replaced the damaged one with a more expensive model. And Spear's funeral home did not charge the family for any of the $6,500 funeral.

This is a plain and simple negligence case, nothing more. Replacing the defective casket is really all that was required, having the funeral fees waived is over and above in terms of compensation IMO.

Back in my construction days our crew installed kitchen cabinets. The homeowner came home and informed us that the cabinets were the wrong color. We ordered new ones and replaced the ones we had already installed. When the job was done she refused to pay because the innitial shock of seeing the wrong cabinets caused her so much distress that she believed we should be thankful that she wasn't sueing us. We sued her, won triple damages for breach of contract and then settled for the original contract amount.

These people are nothing but scum and they're everywhere.

At least they weren't on the jury.
