A grieving family says a New Jersey funeral home put a different body in their loved one’s clothes, placed the person in the casket and presented them at the family viewing.

The lawsuit, first filed in September, alleges Boyd Funeral Home workers were negligent when they put the wrong body in Addison Jenkins’ clothes after he died in February 2023 and then claimed it was Addison Jenkins in that casket.
