QUESTION:

Homer's wife of 47 years, Marge, died last year and her remains were sent to Moe's Crematorium for processing. After the body was purportedly cremated, Homer received a decorative jar that was supposed to contain Marge's ashes. Several months later, Homer's daughter, Lisa, tells him about a news report she saw indicating that the crematorium in question had been seized by the local authorities in a raid headed by Police Chief Wiggum. The investigation found that dozens of corpses had been recovered that had been scheduled to be cremated but had never actually been processed. Instead, the bodies were simply left outside or stacked in a shed. Homer hires the Law Offices of Lionel Hutz to sue Moe's Crematorium. What kind of damages, if any, can Homer seek? Make sure to indicate what facts support your position of requesting each specific type of damages.
