    s.e.a seton with the original paperwork, but it says it's a piece of Saint Elizabeth Seton body.. is that sound right?

    Cutting bits of saints' bodies is an age old practice, so could be. Eery but true.

    it's a good business. it's enough when a third party touched - or said so - part of the body of the deceased. or if a "Saint" walked by and his shadow touched the belongings of the deceased.
