| 0:00.0 | What happens when a funeral home cannot fit a body into a casket? |
| 0:06.0 | I mean, it's a particularly niche problem that I don't think most of us would be on the receiving end of solving. |
| 0:12.0 | But apparently, Williamson Memorial Funeral Home in Franklin, Tennessee, has that exact problem. |
| 0:18.0 | And according to Andrew Solomon, she believes their solution was to break her son's |
| 0:23.4 | ankles so that he would fit into the casket. And now this is from Daily Mail, so it could be as |
| 0:30.3 | credible as a rock that just flew in through your window with a note. But it states that |

| 1:11.6 | Grant's ankles so that he could fit in there. These allegations kickstart a Tennessee Department |
| 1:17.8 | of Commerce and Insurance Board investigation and they have at their board meeting a statement. |
| 1:25.2 | There was no evidence present other than the mother's recollection that the |
| 1:31.5 | descendant's ankles had been broken, as alleged. The funeral home has said after the conclusion |
| 1:37.8 | of the Tennessee board meeting, these allegations are intentionally defamatory, especially |
| 1:42.7 | knowing the closure of the complaint with the |
