Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Non-payment of funeral expenses

My girlfriend died last month. I placed a $2500 deposit to get her buried. 3 days later I lost my job. The funeral director now tells me that if I do not make payment in full in the next 60 days, they can exhume my girlfriend and move her to an indugent, county cemetary. Is this legal?

It's legal. Nasty, but legal.

Based on what you have stated and under the basics of contract law, it is possible that you may be liable for the remaining portion of the agreement. If my law firm can assist you with this or any other legal issue, please contact my office manager Mr. Ed Smith ([email protected]).
