A Brooklyn family says they are perpetually in mourning, not only over the loss of their loved one, but because of the way they had to say goodbye to her. As CBS2's Lisa Rozner reported Tuesday, they're suing the funeral home because they don't want this to happen to anyone else.

  • No way she was embalmed and kept in cold storage if she was smelling and decomposing! This is just awful and unacceptable! I pray the family gets compensated and the funeral home is investigated and fined!

    Seeing your deceased loved one's body is difficult enough even when it's properly preserved. To see the body all rotted and mangled has got to be a type of pain I can't even imagine. And the fact that the family is Haitian, a culture that holds high reverence for the treatment of their dead, makes it even more tragic.
  • At my grandma's funeral I was so scared to look into the casket. When I finally did I was so relieved to see how peaceful and well put together she was. The fact that that last memory was robbed from these people is sickening.

    My grandfather died during covid and it took us 3 weeks to bury him. At his funeral, he looked like he was 60 years old again. He looked so handsome and happy. That's my last memory of him. It still brings me some peace. I'm so sorry for this family to have that awful memory to live with.

    That's awful. It's already a nightmare for a parent to bury their children but this takes it to another horrific level. This is a disgrace to mortitioners everywhere.

    She’s beautiful 🥺💕 I’m so sorry this happened to you.

    I'm speechless! Having just buried my mom just a few weeks ago. I know the sadness and sorrows, this family feels.
  • This woman was one of my best friends and it's devastating to me and everyone who knew and loved her that this us the way she was treated. She was a beautiful, kind, FUNNY, sarcastic, loving and loyal person and she is missed terribly. I can't believe that she is gone but she will forever live on in our hearts. Sleep in peace Regina.

    That is beyond sad and unacceptable... I was beyond grateful for the funeral director when my 9-month-old baby passed away. She literally had him looking like an angel. I couldn't believe how angelic he looked. My child was literally glowing! I gave the director the biggest hug and thanked her from the bottom of my heart, with tears streaming down my face. She cried as well... I wish this is how this family would have felt when they saw their loved one for the last time...
  • I could not even imagine how her mother feels. This is awful. Rest In Peace Ms.Regina.

    This is heartbreaking. The family needs a refund and compensation for the trauma they went through.
  • Even if they waited to long , yall are still missing the point that the funeral home allowed them to see her like that. Thats disgusting af.
  • She was BEAUTIFUL.🌸🤎🏵 Condolences to the family. I’m so sorry.🕊🌱
  • Rest In Peace Angel Regina! You were a wonderful nurse and amazing to work with 🕊️

    That’s unacceptable my father was kept in the mortuary for a month due to covid and his body was well preserved. I hope this family gets the compensation they deserve. This is terrible. This is the last thing they should have to deal with. Condolences to her and her family.
  • It’s hard enough dealing with a loss, and to go through this is unimaginable
