According to David Ovalle of the Miami Herald, a publicly funded organization that cares for the poor and disabled adults is suing Hall of Famer Andre Dawson for $15,000 in damages because Dawson’s family business reneged on a deal to provide prepaid mem0rial services and burials for deceased clients.

The lawsuit says that one man’s corpse lay in limbo for weeks because Dawson’s Grace Memorial Funeral Home refused to accept the body.

The suit names Dawson and his brother, lawyer Vincent Brown, co-owners of the funeral home in North Miami-Dade.

Brown insisted that their company did not break an existing contract because the prepaid funerals and cemetery plots were sold illegally by a previous owner.

“We are victims and just as innocent” as the Guardianship Program, Brown told The Miami Herald.

The lawsuit includes seven prepaid funerals for more than $40,000 each from 2004-2006. The sales occurred during the home’s ownership by the previous owner, but the lawsuit said that the transfer of the business included the agreement to assume the prepaid services.
