In addition to facingstate felony charges for reportedly stealing funds intended for prepaid funerals, a Bay County funeral home heiress owes thousands to an out-of-state casket manufacturing company, according to court records. Court records indicate Stapish Cederberg Funeral Homes, 805 E. South Union St. in Bay City and 955 N. Pine Road in Hampton Township, was recently sued by Batesville, Ind.-based Batesville Casket Co. An Indiana judge issued a default judgment when Stapish Cederberg did not respond to the suit. The case was forwarded to Bay County Circuit Court, which is in charge of enforcing the judgment, ordering the funeral home, Lynn M. Cederberg and daughter Erica C. Kaznowski to pay $141,868.66 to the casket makers. Lynn Cederberg died Nov. 29 at age 62, surrounded by relatives, according to her obituary.
