N.J. Funeral Mix-Up: Body Already In Plot Where Man Was To Buried

STAFFORD, N.J., Dec. 20, 2007
Answers.com

(AP) One family got a surprise at a relative's funeral in Ocean County. He
couldn't be buried because there was another body already in the cemetery
plot that he bought.

Auto body shop owner Garry Meredith died of bone cancer at 64 last week.
During his illness, he paid a friend $800 for a plot at Greenwood Cemetery
in Stafford Township.

But gravediggers found the plot was already occupied.

Cemetery managers suspect someone else had bought the plot from the family
of the man who sold it to Meredith.

Meredith's body has since been buried in another graveyard. But the name of
the person in the plot that he bought remains a mystery.
