[T] Carlson v. Sci Iowa Funeral Services

Early Sunday morning, March 26, 2000, Lelia Carlson, surrounded by her adult children, passed away in her home just five months after the death of her husband. A hospice nurse contacted the Nelson-Berger Funeral Home (Nelson-Berger) to pick up the body and authorized the funeral home to "prepare" the body for burial. Nelson-Berger picked up the body, returned to the funeral home, and embalmed Lelias remains.
