Alleged victims of Lowell Oakes and Dawson Funeral Home says they deserve compensation from the province to replace their lost funds, since legislation they expected to protect them dates back to the 1980s.
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.
