Three Massachusetts families are suing Harvard Medical School, accusing it of abandoning their love ones’ donated bodies in a 'place of freakish-desecration' where body parts were picked over 'like trinkets at a flea market,' according to the lawsuit.

"like trinkets at a flea market," according to a class action lawsuit filed Wednesday.

It also accuses the school of having lax policies and failing to properly screen and supervise its staff. Wilder's father, Glenn Wilder Sr., had told his family he wanted his remains donated to the school's Anatomical Gift Program"for the greater good," the suit said. The family upheld his wish following his death on June 1, 2019.

Harvard had the remains for nearly two years before returning what the school said were his ashes, according to the lawsuit.
