A funeral home has lost the ashes of a Holocaust survivor after posting them in the mail, a new court case claims. Bertha Mueller died in her sleep at the age of 92 in Brooklyn, New York, on February 5 and was cremated days later. Her daughter Daisy McFadden, 67, had to have the remains shipped and tracked from Walter B Cooke Funeral Home in Manhattan as she was in hospital recovering from back surgery. But the delivery never arrived - and when McFadden inquired about them four weeks later, the funeral home insisted a postman left it by the front door.Bertha Mueller died in her sleep at the age of 92 on February 5 this yearHer daughter was in hospital after surgery, had to have ashes deliveredFour weeks later nothing arrived, funeral home insist delivery was madeBut they cannot produce a tracking number or a signature for the parcelGrieving family has filed a lawsuit against the firm but say 'it's not about money'.
