Mother’s Remains Cremated Against Her Wishes | Newark News

A family is reeling from the heartbreaking loss of their 93-year-old mother, Euvy Agnes Rodney, whose cremated remains were allegedly mishandled by a Queens funeral home — violating her final wish to be buried in Guyana. Her daughter, Christine Weever, says they’ve lost her twice: once in death, again when her ashes were taken without their knowledge. The death certificate clearly stated burial plans for a church in Guyana, a wish her attorneys confirmed was documented. After entrusting her to J. Foster Phillips Funeral Home, the family was denied access to her body and later received ashes with no way to verify they’re truly their mother’s. Despite the anguish and uncertainty, the family plans a celebration of life in Queens this Friday — and still hope to eventually bring her remains home to Guyana, honoring her final request.

Fair Lawn's New Noise Hotline | Newark News

Fair Lawn’s battling cross-river car stereo noise from Paterson — a problem they’ve long been powerless to fix since it’s not their turf. Now, they’ve launched a new hotline (201-777-6144) that routes calls to Paterson via Fair Lawn to gather hard data on when and where the noise hits, aiming to build a factual case for collaboration. But Paterson’s mayor says he wasn’t briefed — he wants direct talks before any new measures, highlighting a communication gap that needs bridging as both towns try to solve the same problem.
