Pennsylvania Mom Discovers Baby’s Cremains Were Really Dog Remains After 2 Years

Two years ago, Jennifer Dailey suffered the grief of having a stillborn baby girl. Jerrica Sky’s remains were cremated at the Bauer Funeral Home. Funeral home staff provided Dailey the cremains in a small, white box containing a bag that supposedly held her daughters ashes. For two years, Dailey held and wept over the small box she thought held her daughter.

Recently, Dailey’s husband suggested they might take the remains and spread them in a place that had special meaning to the family. Upon opening the container, Daily found a metal plate that said “Butler Pet Cremation.” The funeral home has already apologized and pinned the fault on Thompson-Miller Funeral Home, which operates a human and pet crematory. The owner of Thompson-Miller immediately took responsibility and apologized for his mistake. Dailey is having nothing with the apology and may pursue legal action.
