Atlanta attorney Claud “Tex” McIver left his wife Diane’s ashes for more than a month at the Conyers funeral home that cremated her—until one of his wife’s friends anonymously paid the bill.

And when McIver, who fatally shot his wife in what he said was an accident on Sept. 25, 2016, stopped by Phoenix Funeral Services to get copies of his wife’s death certificate, the former Fisher & Phillips partner didn’t pay the bill, funeral director Wanda Eidson testified Friday at McIver’s murder trial.
