Heartbroken, the daughter prepared for her mother's funeral ceremony, and the workers at the funeral home were just preparing to pass the lady's body through a conveyor belt at a crematorium when her daughter noticed her vital signs working. She managed to stop the cremation barely on time.
The local police said: '(The daughter) went to the sanatorium at 8.45am where she met with a doctor who told her about the death of her mother after suffering cardiorespiratory arrest, for which she was sent to the crematorium on Velez Sarsfield Avenue and hired the funeral and cremation service.'
