PRINCETON – The family of a women who died in 2017 says the cemetery was unable to bury her in the plot she had purchased more than 20 years ago.
Isaac E. Reed, administrator of the estate of Betty Lee Price, filed the complaint in Mercer Circuit Court against SCI West Virginia Funeral Services Inc. doing business as Monte Vista Park Cemetery.
According to the complaint, Reed was the lifelong companion of Price, who he describes as being “devoted to her family and to the memory of her deceased mother, Roberta Price.” She wanted her final resting place to be beside her mother’s grave, and she purchased that plot on May 29, 1999. She was so proud of having secured her final resting place that she had a photograph made of herself and Reed at the grave site.
