You may have recourse. In NC, and in most states, there are specific claims related to the mishandling of a corpse (or a person's remains, as in the case of your mother). I would suggest that you speak with an attorney with some experience in these areas to see if you have a viable claim. I am very sorry to hear about this difficult situation, and wish you the best of luck going forward. -Jay Mills
