Reality TV funeral director accused of desecrating remains of 17 people

Celebrity funeral director John Beckwith Jr. — the star of the TLC reality show “Best Funeral Ever” — is being sued by 17 families for desecrating their loved ones’ remains.

Reached Thursday, a member of the staff at Golden Gate said Beckwith was unavailable to respond to The Post’s request for comment. The lawsuit alleges the daughter “was forced to do the best she could: She attempted to prepare Jennifer herself. Jackie used the makeup and perfume she carried in her purse to help remedy Jennifer’s odor and appearance and odor.”

Carlisle, who is now raising her 14-year-old brother, Jace, alone, had paid Beckwith’s company $11,000 for the embalming, wake, funeral ceremony, cremation and cosmetology services. Nekaya Webster said Golden Gate mistakenly sent the cremated remains of her father, Aldo Ray Busby, to a cemetery in another state.

The lawsuit describes her family’s anguish, saying, “Aldo Busby’s children will never recover their father’s remains and must, instead, live with the trauma so carelessly inflicted by Golden Gate.”Hales said other allegations against the funeral home involve some families receiving the wrong remains, or none at all.
