Anonymous donor covers cost of Tennessee flood victims funerals

An anonymous donor has offered to pay for the funerals of the 20 people who died in the historic floods which decimated parts of Tennessee on Saturday.

The mystery man has been going to different funeral homes around Humphreys County, where the worst of the flooding occurred, to ensure he pays the funeral cost for every single person who died.

William Brown, the manager of the Humphreys County Funeral Home, told The Tennessean that the man requested to remain unnamed as he paid for nine funerals at that location.
