Son Shocked to Find Stranger’s Body in Mom’s Casket [VIDEO]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – When a family went to say their final goodbyes to their loved one, they said something didn’t look right. Come to find out, she was switched in a casket with another woman who also just passed away.

York Memorial Park is where family thought they laid Elease McInnis to rest. Days after her July 2 funeral, they found out their burial was for a complete stranger in this awful body mix-up. People in the funeral business are saying they’ve never heard of anything like it.

“She doesn’t deserve this. Nobody deserves this,” said Jerry Bowman, the son of 75-year-old Catherine B. White.

White passed away on June 26. Monday night, the Bowman family told FOX 46 that Alexander Funeral Home had someone else’s body in their loved one’s casket.

Today, FOX 46 confirmed with the cemetery that White was actually buried by the family of 91-year-old Elease McInnis.

While the funeral home has consistently declined to comment, both families have confirmed with FOX 46 that somehow, their loved ones were switched.

“You shouldn’t run into a problem like that if you are on top of your game, if you want to say it that way,” Palmer Dupree Sr. said. 

One of McInnis’ family members told FOX 46 they’re embarrassed and heartbroken. She says some of them thought McInnis looked different, but they weren’t sure if it was the embalming process. They never imagined it was a completely different person.
