PITTSBURGH-the family of the deceased 91-year-old woman claims in a lawsuit in a Roman Catholic cemetery near Pittsburgh jumping on top of her coffin, and otherwise bogged down to the grave with piercing with poles.
Theodore Zimmick, her daughter and grandson sued the Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Association of Catholic cemetery for the funeral of his mother, Agnes Zimmick, on December 1, 2009 in St. Stanislaus Catholic cemetery in Shaler Township.
After the funeral, the family said they went to visit the tomb of other family members, and then see the workers stomping up and running in a coffin and on the other hand jamming into the grave.
Annabelle McGannon, Executive Director of the cemetery Association, said the family's claims have been investigated and "unfounded."
