The woman passed away in her sleep early December, reported AT5.After de death of Aaltje Geis, the nursing home tried to contact her three children. Several attempts failed, resulting in the cremation to be postponed. The administrator of Geis also tried to get in touch with the family. In the end the woman was cremated without her children being present. urn
Walters Art Museum 'We followed all the normal procedures for a death. We exhausted every possible option to contact the family, but sadly failed,' said a spokesperson for the Sarphati home. The three children don't accept the explanation and turn to a lawyer. The Sarphati home had the address of son Ronald, who was the emergency contact. Last year Ronald received a letter about the health of his mother. The son does not have a working phone.
