Auckland funeral home left body 'to rot' until money was paid, wife says
Kia ora neighbours, a grieving widow claims her husband's body was left to rot for months by a funeral home who demanded she pay them $12,000.

He left behind his wife Nan Jiang, who had been living separately from him since 2017, and their 5-year-old son Rex.
