Funeral Home Worker Dies After Burial Vault Accident Sparks Safety Concerns
A Restland Funeral Home employee in Dallas was fatally crushed by a concrete burial vault while working, prompting accusations of gross negligence. The victim, Angel Rojas, was moving vaults when one fell, pinning him to the ground, and he tragically died later at a hospital. The family’s attorneys allege that the funeral home was negligent by allowing Rojas to operate heavy machinery alone. An investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is underway to determine the cause of the accident.
