Usually people falling is funny, but not in this case.
That's Benjamin Aviles's casket along with his pallbearers doing their duty. They were attempting to take him to his final resting place. Instead, they all dropped right into the grave with him after the platform above the burial site collapsed.
Rodriguez [Aviles's stepdaughter] said the men who plunged into the hole all suffered injuries, mostly to their legs, hands and back.
Avilies' son suffered the worst of it.
‘The casket lay on top of him, and he was out like a light with his face in the mud,' she said.
She and her family blame Greenmount Cemetery and the Rodriguez Funeral home, which has no relation to the family, for what she calls subpar conditions for a burial.
‘The whole thing was trembling,' she said. ‘It was wobbly, the wood was all wet and soaked.'
Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured, though the family is expecting at least some sort of compensation.
