A woman has not been charged after authorities were called because she was driving with her husband’s dead body in a casket through Alaska for several days. As it turns out, she was not breaking any laws because she was keeping the body cold with ice that she bought along the way.

According to Yahoo News,

KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — A woman who drove her husband’s body on a days-long traveling wake in Alaska and used ice from canneries to keep him cold is not accused of breaking any laws.

Officers responded to a call last week to find the body of a 78-year-old man inside an aluminum transport casket.

Ketchikan Police Chief Alan Bengaard told the Ketchikan Daily News that the woman stopped at canneries for ice to put in the truck bed during the “rolling wake.”

The man had died of natural causes.

A mortuary took custody of the body after the authorities were called.

The family can make further arrangements.

Bengaard said hopefully the woman won’t take her husband back out on the road, but that he wasn’t aware of any laws she had broken.

It is incredible that she was not breaking any laws but then you wouldn’t think that there would need to be laws for this kind of thing. Who does this in the first place? She should have just let the mortuary and hospital handle transport.
