Wrong Body Brought to Funeral
PHILADELPHIA – The blue suit and black boots were right, but mourners at a retired trucker’s funeral suspected they were gazing at the wrong man.
Some friends and family members kissed the body, despite whispers that something seemed amiss.
After a two-hour viewing Tuesday, the funeral home came clean: it had brought in the wrong casket to the church.
After the revelation, neither Kenneth "Tex" Roberts’ family nor the body were in any shape for a final farewell, so the service was postponed.
