NEW: California family says a funeral director gave them a bag with their own son's brain in it. The family of 27-year-old Alexander Pinon has filed a lawsuit, claiming funeral director Anita Singh gave them their son's brain instead of his clothes. Pinon's family had paid for a $10,000 for a "full-service memorial tribute package" and requested that the funeral home give them back their son's clothes. According to the lawsuit, Singh handed them a bag. When they went home, they put the contents of the bag in the laundry and out came brain material. "At that point, they had no idea that it was their son's brain that was in the washing machine," said the family's attorney, Samer Habbas. "They didn't know if it was mixed up with somebody else's brain, whether it was their son's, they had not a single idea." According to a whistleblower who works at the funeral home, after the brain was returned, Singh put it in a box and left it in the courtyard of the funeral home for "two-and-a-half months." Horrible.
