BODY MIX-UPS LEAD TO NEW RULES FOR FUNERAL HOMES

Nova Scotia has introduced legislation to make the funeral home industry more accountable, but the husband of a woman whose remains were mistakenly cremated says the new rules don’t go far enough. “More transparency is needed,” Gary Bennett said Tuesday before amended legislation was tabled in the legislature. Bennett’s wife Sandra, 65, was mistakenly cremated last December while 96-year-old Myrtle Wilson was embalmed and presented as Sandra Bennett to her family during a visitation that went horribly wrong.
