Families of lost loved ones to get ashes from bankrupt funeral home



Goldie Wright died last November, and over four months, her family says they’ve attempted to get the ashes from Kremer Funeral Home. “Where is she? Why can’t we bring her home? It’s been long enough,” said her niece, Tracy Leonard. After three months, the family of Billy Lorenz has the same questions and frustration. “You pay money for a service you don’t get,” partner Jan Hawkins told 6 On Your Side. “That’s a body. That was a human.” Kremer Funeral Home’s doors remain locked, but 6 On Your Side received a text from the owner, Travis Sheffield. He said he is out of town on a family medical issue -- but he promises to be in the office on Monday, March 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and stay open with those hours through Friday. Family members are hopeful those doors will reopen as promised come Monday so they can get the most important valuable -- the remains of their loved ones. But questions remain about death certificates and preneed policies.

W T F?
That place had been in business for generations. I wonder what caused them to go bankrupt? It’s not like people quit dying during the pandemic. Quite the opposite!
