Nova Scotia family horrified to learn they buried a stranger’s remains
Several other people on social media are sharing similar stories about the remains of their loved ones.
A Nova Scotia family is facing horror after learning they buried the remains of a stranger eight years ago, according to a report by Global News. Amanda Sabean, a resident of the province, says her family had the remains of her father, Hendrik (Hank) Sabean, interred in the spring of 2018 alongside other deceased relatives. However, recently, the new owners of East Coast Memorial, who acquired the assets of the former Serenity Funeral Home, contacted the family to collect Hank Sabean's remains. This revelation has left Amanda and her family in a state of confusion and distress.
Several other individuals have come forward with similar experiences of discovering their loved ones' remains were mistakenly buried at the funeral home. Provincial officials have stated that they are currently investigating the mix-up. The former and current owners of the funeral home have declined to comment on the matter at this time.
Amanda Sabean expressed her disbelief and concern in a statement to Global News, saying, "We aren't certain what to do, but know that someone may be missing the displaced remains of a family member. Our father didn't deserve the error, and storage like some sort of dusty collection of books." The family is now left grappling with the realization that they may have unintentionally buried a stranger's remains, and they seek clarity and resolution in this unsettling situation.
