(August 18, 2008)—A Nelson County, Ky. funeral home director is suing a Roman Catholic priest and the Archdiocese of Louisville, Ky.
Ron Rust, a funeral home owner in New Haven, Ky. says a new church policy will interfere with his business coordinating funerals.
The Rev. Jeffrey Leger, pastor at St. Catherine Church, has a new policy that funeral directors must work with him when planning services at his church.
Rust's lawsuit claims the policy will hurt his business, so he's seeking monetary damages from the priest and the archdiocese.
