A group of Prince Edward Islanders is frustrated the province will not respond to their requests to be reimbursed for pre-paid funerals their relatives arranged, in a case where the funeral director is currently being tried for fraud.
The director of a now-closed funeral home on P.E.I. was charged this week with 66 counts of fraud, in relation to how he handled money paid for prearranged funerals.
People have begun filing lawsuits in P.E.I.’s small claims court over prepaid funeral arrangements they made with Dawson Funeral Home in Crapaud, which lost its licence to operate last year and is the subject of an RCMP investigation.
