Members of a family were left distraught after a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight left two bodies behind in New York.
The coffins were supposed to be flown to Lahore on 28 October - but were left at JFK Airport by mistake. The airline has now ordered an investigation.
Those who were travelling with the bodies had boarded the plane and traveled to Lahore.
It was airlines last New York-Lahore flight, as it had just suspended the route.
According to the BBC, PIA said the error was caused by the handling company on the ground.
PIA said it "regrets the inconvenience caused due to negligence on part of the airline's ground handling agency... and expresses its sympathies with the family members of the deceased persons".
One of the families had now asked for their relative be buried in America , while the other body was being transferred by Etihad Airways back to Lahore.
The airline said "all expenses will be borne by PIA".
