Funeral Home Gave My Father's Ashes To His Partner Who Has No Legal Relation To Him Without Consent.

I signed the contract for my father's cremation. I am listed as the purchaser on the contract as well. My fathers partner who he lived with insisted to pay for it (with my father's money). The funeral home was supposed to contact me regarding the cremation date and when the ashes were ready. They went behind my back and gave them to his partner without consent. This person has no legal relation to my father whatsoever. They had the opportunity to correct this mistake and decided they knew what was best with my father's remains.

I have filed a complaint with the State. I am wondering if we have a case for negligence and misconduct to sue the funeral home?
