Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Harmless Error — Not Affecting Result. Whether plaintiff split a single cause of action is immaterial, where on appeal it is decided that appellant was not liable on the second cause of action.</p> <p>Dead Bodies — Negligence—Damages—Mental Suffering. Since there can be no recovery for damages arising from mental anguish as a result of negligence when not accompanied by physical injury, there can be no recovery therefor against a cremation company for negligence in failing to keep and deliver the ashes of a child as provided in the parent’s contract for its cremation.</p>
