STICKNEY, Ill. – A family from suburban Chicago said they arrived at a funeral home Monday to view their 91-year-old grandmother’s body, but instead found another woman in the casket.

Even worse, the family of Lillian Grogan said the stranger had on the grandmother’s dress and favorite bracelet. They claim the mix-up happened because the funeral home incorrectly tagged Grogan and another woman.

By the time it was noticed, Grogan had already been buried. Her family got a court order to have the body exhumed yesterday, and she’ll be reburied.

A spokeswoman for the company that owns the funeral home declined to discuss the incident.
