Croat mistakenly cremated in Austria

Croatian Times

A funeral home is being sued after mixing up two coffins and sending the wrong corpse to a Croatian family - and then cremating the body they were supposed to send.

The devastated Lukic family from Zagreb were dumbfounded when the body of an Austrian woman was delivered to them. 

But after contacting the Pius funeral home in Austria they were horrified to discover that the remains of their relative Josip Lukic had been cremated. 

The family is now taking the funeral parlour to court, saying it never wanted his remains cremated.
