Funeral Home Makes Claim Against James Brown’s Trust

According to Katrina A. Goggins, Funeral home wants $70,000 from James Brown trust, Houston Chronicle, April 19, 2007:

The trust handling James Brown’s estate owes more than $70,000 for his elaborate funeral and care of his body for nearly three months before it was laid to rest in March * * *

Some of the funeral costs have already been paid and trustees have mailed a check to [the funeral home] this week covering the outstanding balance, Brown’s longtime adviser and trustee Buddy Dallas said Wednesday.

“It was the children that ran up a funeral bill of over $150,000, not the trustees,” Dallas said.
