A funeral home has been ordered to pay over $800,000 in compensation to a former employee, who seriously injured his back while lifting heavy bodies several years ago.

High Court Judge Ricky Rahim ordered compensation for Hardath Maraj as he upheld his negligence case against Simpsons Memorial Limited, last Friday.

Maraj was employed as a driver/handyman in 2015.
