The funeral home signed the agreement two days after the Kim family filed a $50 million lawsuit in Bergen County seeking damages for emotional trauma stemming from the macabre mix-up of human remains.
The Bergen County funeral home that has been hit with a $50 million lawsuit for placing the wrong body in the casket and nearly burying the remains recently paid a $2,500 fine to the state for “professional misconduct” that led to the botched burial, records show.
In reality, Kyung Ja Kim had been left behind at the funeral home, and the body of another woman, Whaja Kim, had been mistakenly placed in the coffin. The funeral director, Haemin Gina Chong, began receiving texts with pictures of the deceased at the church, but it wasn’t until after the graveside service was over that she acted to correct the mistake.
Kyung Ja Kim was 93 years old when she did at her daughter’s home in Englewood Cliffs on November 10. Whaja Kim was 16 years younger and looked nothing like her, the complaint says.
