BURIAL MIX-UP CAUGHT JUST IN TIME

A Brooklyn woman came within moments of burying a stranger in her father’s grave. The coffin supposedly holding the remains of Jenny Gutnick’s father was already being lowered into his grave at Mount Richmond Cemetery on Staten Island in April 2014, when she spotted a suspicious Post-it note on the side bearing a woman’s name. With the casket nearly in the ground, the grieving 44-year-old immediately demanded the burial be stopped. They pulled the coffin up, opened it – only to find a woman’s body. There was then a frantic search for he father’s remains. After about three hours, mourners finally were led by cemetery workers to a freshly filled grave in another area of the graveyard. The casket buried there was quickly exhumed – and the father’s body was found inside. The grave turned out to be the burial site for the woman who was found in the dad’s casket. Gutnick, who is suing the cemetery, says she has been receiving ongoing psychiatric counseling since the incident.
