Trial of the Botched Cremation
Trial of the Botched Cremation
A Real-Life Trial Experience
The wrong body has been cremated - and everyone is a suspect: the funeral home, the crematory, and the cemetery. This Mock Trial is a real case presented just as it would be in the courtroom. It includes the attorneys, the plaintiff, the defendants, a judge—and of course a jury. Participants will see the trial unfold and see how the jury decides. This program examines problems that the deathcare profession faces when dealing with cremation, and it also provides a consumer’s perspective of what it’s like to be on the other end of the issue.
Length: 2, 3 or 4 hours
