Funeral Home Begins Battle With Ernie Banks’ Estate

The funeral home that handled the services for Ernie Banks has initiated a legal battle over the estate of the Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer, claiming it has not been paid more than $35,000. 

The claim by Donnellan Family Funeral Services was filed Wednesday and comes amid a legal challenge by Banks’ widow, Elizabeth Banks; as I have previously mentioned is regarding a will signed in October allegedly without her knowledge, which leaves his assets to his caregiver Regina Rice and nothing to his children.
