(WXYZ) — It's a story being shared across social media relating to metro Detroit – and we want to let you know the story is fake.

The headline from the website called The Daily Star says "Roseville, MI: Funeral Home Employee Cremated By Mistake While Taking A Nap." We won't link to it because it's not real.

All the way at the bottom of the page is a notice that reads, "Disclaimer: This is satire."
