His wife of 57 years, Despina Nicolopoulos, told Seven News on Tuesday the discovery was made when her daughter asked to take a final look at her fatherâs body in the casket following the service.
However, when the coffin lid was lifted, the man inside was not Mr Nicolopoulos.
âMy daughter say, âMum not my father this one . another man,â â Ms Nicolopoulos recalled.
Both families had used Euro Funeral Services at Roselands. It emerged Mr Nicolopoulosâ body had mistakenly been buried at Rookwood Cemetery following a funeral service at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Belmore earlier on Friday.
