Family of Tipperary man settle case over wrong body being sent to funeral home

Family claimed they suffered psychiatric injuries due to a French man’s remains being wrongly delivered from Lanzarote to Grey’s Funeral Home in Templemore in a coffin bearing their father’s name

The High Court heard that the undertaker at Grey’s Funeral Home in Templemore told Mr Curley's son to prepare himself as his father did 'not look well' and that foreign embalming services were not as good as Irish ones. Picture: ejgrey.com

Three High Court actions brought over the delivery of the wrong man’s body from a Spanish island to Co Tipperary have been settled.

Siblings Jackie Costello, Neville Curley and Elizabeth Ann Curley-Poppe settled their cases against a Spanish funeral home and a UK repatriation service, while their claims against a Templemore undertaker were struck out on terms agreed between the parties, the court was told on Wednesday.
