Jakubs & Son Funeral Home Unlawfully removed and stored deceased from hospital and refused to return remains Euclid Ohio
My mother passed on Tuesday April 24, 2013 at University Hospital and I was notified by the Dr. My mother did not assign either myself or my sister as her POA. My sister forged an un-notarized POA which the hospital was aware of and did not acknowledge the POA because she had admitted that one did not exist before coming in on Sunday April 24th and trying to use it to make health decisions for my mother.
Jakubs funeral home unlawfully removed my mothers remains from University Hospital and when I confronted the Director about the un-notarized power of attorney he sadi "he didn't think t o look" and that I would have to pay him to return my mothers remains. I reiterated my position and he quickly stopped the cremation and claimed that he would return my mother to the hospital morgue. I called the hospital to locate my mother's remains and they never received them.
The funeral home intentionally put my mother's remains at their storage facility in the county morgue and then told me that there would be additional storage and transport fees. The hospital agreed to take my mother's remains back to their morgue because of the error. Moving my mother to this location kept the Funeralhomein charge of my mothwer's remains and in the arrangements for my mother.
The Funeral home also took this action to force a contract and he tried to bully me into signing my portion of the life insurance policy over to him after my sister agreed to use only her portion of the life insurance to pay for the funeral arrangements because she also had unauthorized access to additional monies from my mother’s bank account.
My mother was dissatisfied with their service for a relative and the Funeral Director at Jakubs Funeral Home made it clear that he was aware of that fact as well. They even used a scare tactic by having a law office which my mother used for other services to direct me to use Jakubs Funeral Home. Now that they have held my mother's remains hostage they further threatened that they would take my portion of my mother's insurance policy without my consent and from what they indicated they are trying to take 50% of the total policy and that would force me to split the remainder with my estranged sister. They do not have my permission to file a claim on my behalf and they already were made aware of that fact by me.
They will cremate my mother at their will after forcing me to have to deal with them and their dishonest practices. I will never get to see my mother again and there was no service for her friends and family because this Funeral home stole my mother's remains and danced around the law.
