NEW YORK — A Dominican family is suing a Manhattan funeral home following a shocking mix-up related to the death of their father, marking not the first complaint against the company. Family and friends of José Daniel Díaz Felipe were preparing to say goodbye to the man they knew as 'Danielito' at his wake in late May, after he passed away at the age of 84. However, upon arriving at R.G. Ortiz Funeral Home in Washington Heights, they were stunned to find another man lying in the casket. 'We opened the casket and found another man. They spent hours trying to convince us it was our father,' said José Luis Díaz, the deceased's son, to Telemundo 47.
