Detroit family discovers stranger’s body in mother’s casket before memorial
Bianca Robinson discovered that the body placed in her late mother Kimberly Moore’s casket belonged to someone else when she visited a Detroit funeral home before the memorial service. The error left the family without Moore’s body or ashes, forcing them to hold the ceremony without either, while they sought answers about what had happened.
Moore died on 3 September and was due to be memorialised on 19 September at Hutchinson Funeral Home. Staff reportedly believed a wet toe tag had fallen off, potentially causing the mix-up, and told Robinson that Moore may already have been cremated; the funeral home has apologised, launched an internal review and said it would compensate the family if found responsible. Moore was a mother of five and grandmother of 28, and the family has asked anyone who recognises the unidentified woman to contact the funeral home.
