A Michigan woman who received an urn full of her late husband's ashes at his memorial service in 1991 was shocked to find out that he had been buried without her knowledge. Now, she is suing the funeral home.

Daisy Marshall, 85, spoke to Detroit-based ABC affiliate WXYZ about her lawsuit against Wilson-Akins Funeral Homes , which handled the funeral of her late husband, Charles Marshall, in 1991. Marshall told WXYZ that at the time of his memorial service, she was presented with an urn that she was led to believe contained her husband's cremains.

When Marshall went to make pre-arrangements for her own burial in 2022, which included being buried alongside the urn filled with her husband's ashes, she was told that her husband was already buried.
