The funeral home was reportedly driving at a speed above the stipulated speed, and the driver even took a selfie on the deceased’s cell phone. Parents of the deceased 19-year-old received the fine at home and were “in disbelief”.
The parents of Rodrigo, a 19-year-old young man who died in a road accident in Idanha-a-Nova, received a speeding ticket at home. The letter included a photo radar showing the van of the funeral home Funeralbi – Serviços Fúnebres, which had handled the son’s funeral services. They were “in disbelief”, they told .
The Castelo Branco funeral home allegedly illegally used the couple’s son’s data when it was fined by the police. The fine ranged from 300 to 1500 euros and provided for the suspension of the license for 2 to 24 months.
The hearse was traveling at 102 kilometers per hour on a road where the maximum allowed was 50. 130 kilometers from the radar, the parents discovered a selfie taken with her son’s cell phone.
“We are suffering due to this slowness in something so simple to resolve. We are unable to mourn”, said Rodrigo’s mother, Liliana Oliveira. “There are many sleepless nights”, laments the father.
A year after what happened, the Public Prosecutor’s Office concludes, a year later, that “the defendants acted with the purpose of preparing a document, in which they listed as the driver of the vehicle a person they knew had not done so”.
