News: Ask Not For Whom The Cellphone Rings

By | November 21, 2003
 Sounds like an episode from Six Feet Under: the family of a deceased motorcyclist are suing a funeral firm after the dead man’s cell phone started ringing – from inside the coffin.
 
A Belgian newspaper, Gazet van Antwerpen, is reporting that the night before the funeral the family gathered at the undertakers for a final private farewell when they heard ringing from within the sealed coffin. Several distressed members of the family had to leave the funeral home whilst staff rushed to remove the cell phone.
 
The family is now suing, according to Cellular News, claiming that the undertakers were negligent in preparing their relative for burial.
