Two days after his father’s death, Jerald and his wife, Jacqulyn, met with Brian Curnow and “instructed him of their wishes to have a dress uniform placed on William,” the suit states.

But about three weeks later, when he received a phone call from Curnow Funeral Home, which had overseen his father’s burial, Jerald Weber learned otherwise.

A lawsuit filed this week contends funeral home director Brian Curnow informed Jerald that “the person who was buried in his father’s coffin, received military honors, and was wearing his father’s uniform was a total stranger.”

A representative for Curnow Funeral Home on Thursday asked that questions about the lawsuit be emailed to her, then responded several hours later saying she couldn’t answer them “because this matter currently is in litigation.”

After his father died of natural causes at the Evergreen Health Hospice Care at Regency Newcastle, Jerald helped a hospice nurse put a clean shirt on his dad before he notified Curnow Funeral Home, the suit says.
