2 bodies to be exhumed, reburied after burial plot mix-up

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Two bodies will be exhumed and reburied at Evergreen Cemetery in Louisville following a burial plot mix-up.

The Courier-Journal reports Bill Dudley says his late father, Jack E. Dudley Sr., and brother, Jack E. Dudley Jr., will be reburied Friday near the gravesite of his late mother, Nana H. Dudley, who recently died.

Dudley says his mother had to be buried at an alternative gravesite the day after Mother’s Day after the family found out that someone else was buried in her prepaid plot, beneath a double headstone beside his father.

Dignity Memorial, which operates Evergreen Cemetery, apologized to the family but did not give specific details about what happened with the Dudley plots.

Dudley says Evergreen is paying for the reburials.
