Daily News | A Philly company took more than $19,000 from grieving families, but didn’t provide headstones, Pa. AG says
A Northeast Philadelphia monument company took more than $19,000 from grieving families, then never delivered headstones for the grave sites of customers’ deceased loved ones, according to a lawsuit filed Monday by Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry’s office.
At least 23 Pennsylvanians were impacted, an attorney general’s spokesperson said Monday afternoon, citing the number of complaints received to date. “Within our Jewish faith, we need to secure a monument at the gravesite by one year in order to do complete the traditional death practices,” the customer wrote. “I’m deeply saddened that I was not able to fulfill my parents’ traditions. This is an unacceptable practice taking advantage of people in grief.”
