An Indy funeral home director had his license suspended after leaving a body out over a weekend in July to decompose, according to court documents.
Court documents allege Benjamin Rawls of Rawls Mortuary and Funeral failed to properly care for a body prior to leaving town for a weekend earlier this year.
Tymee Stewart-Dorris passed away on July 14, 2022, and Rawls Mortuary was contacted to transport her body and embalm her for an open-casket funeral. That's around the time Rawls left town. When he returned, the body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, and an open-casket funeral was deemed impossible.Court documents state her body was still in a body bag and found to be in an unusual position with the right arm raised above the head. No embalming incisions were found despite Rawls claiming to embalm her."Our family and her children did not get to say goodbye," she said.
According to court documents, on July 19, Indiana Professional Licensing Agency inspected the property and foundAfter the Attorney General's Office filed two petitions to suspend Rawls' license, he agreed to a summary suspension of his license and of the funeral home’s license. According to the terms of the voluntary summary suspension agreements, Benjamin Rawls and Rawls Mortuary will be suspended from practicing until October 6, the next date that the State Board of Funeral and Cemetery Service meets.
