I sincerely doubt this will be the case.

Where the hell have the neighbors been?
I can't believe this sort of thing has been allowed to happen.  Everyone

within a half mile radius of the place should have known something was
wrong -- not even a pig farm could disguise the fact.

It is in fact the refering funeral home's responsiblity to be sure the
cremation takes place according to public expectation and the arranging
family's wishes,
and that the
deceased's cremains are returned in whole.  This is a tall order
considering the practice is to leave the deceased at the crematory for
the
crematory staff to carry out it's function, and return the cremains to
the
funeral home.  Trust is essential.

This is so tragic, and is abhorently contrary to what the great majority
of
funeral directors strive to provide as a service to a bereaved family.
There is really no way this wrong will ever be righted in the minds of
the
people involved.
