Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that punitive damages may be awarded in a loss of sepulcher claim
• finding that the common law right of sepulcher accrues upon discovery, because it’s an emotional injury and therefore “axiomatic that a plaintiff must be aware of the interference” before he can actually experience distress
• right of sepulcher “gives the next of kin an absolute right to the immediate possession of a decedent’s body for preservation and burial”
