OPINION

LACAGNINA, Judge.

Cochise Memory Gardens (the cemetery) appeals a jury verdict awarding $25,000 in punitive damages in favor of Ann Carol Tomasits as a result of an action brought by her for the mishandling of her parents' bodies during their disinterment and reinterment. The cemetery argues there was insufficient evidence to support the award of punitive damages.

We affirm.
