What Does Funeral Home Negligence Look Like in San Antonio?
Texas funeral homes are required to follow strict standards when handling the deceased and interacting with families. When a funeral home deviates from those standards, it may be held liable for negligence under Texas law.
Common examples of funeral home negligence include improper embalming, switching or mislabeling remains, holding unauthorized cremations, and charging families for services that were never performed.
