Family continues road trip to Ore. with dead grandma in RV | Local News | kgw.com | News for Oregon and SW Washington

By KGW and AP Staff
A Hillsboro family says it was a labor of love that prompted them to drive their dead grandmother halfway across the country in an RV.
Family members said they were advised by a doctor that if their ailing grandmother passed away during the cross country road trip, they should continue on, and that's exactly what they did.
Polly Craft, 79, wanted to return to Oregon to see relatives before she died.
Watch KGW report She suffered from kidney failure and Alzheimer's disease.
So last Monday, the family packed up its motor home and trailer. They expected the road trip from Arkansas to Oregon to take 48 hours, but bad weather and breakdowns slowed their travel.
Halfway home in Laramie, Wyoming, Polly Craft passed away in her sleep.
Family members agreed they should press on. They drove for another 1,000 miles with the 79-year-old's body resting peacefully in the motor home bed. On Saturday, they finally made it to Oregon, where Polly Craft will be laid to rest.
“They said a doctor had told them, based on her condition that if she did die, they should continue to drive to their destination,” said Lt. Michael Rouches with the Hillsboro Police Department. “She had a personal physician here in Hillsboro and the idea was that the physician would have her medical records and information about her condition."
Rouches said there was no suspicion of foul play, and no law was broken.
Family members called Hillsboro police on Sunday to report the death.
"People die every day," Rouches said. "This could happen more frequently than we know."
Craft was from Oroville, Calif.

I was about to say the same thing. Yes, they did break laws, you can't take a corpse across state lines without the proper papers. I don't think anyone should bother charging them though.

Cool weather? Air conditioning turned up full blast?
Apparently I need to see Little Miss Sunshine. People keep recommending it to me and I think this just sealed it!
