TL;DR Summary

Colorado authorities issued an arrest warrant for a former funeral home owner who kept a deceased woman’s body in a hearse for two years at a rented house, where police also found the cremated remains of at least 30 people. The owner, Miles Harford, is cooperating with investigators and is expected to be charged with abuse of a corpse, forgery of the death certificate, and theft of cremation money. The discovery is the latest in a series of mishandled body cases in Colorado, which has weak funeral industry oversight. Families are devastated after learning that they may have received the wrong ashes, and the investigation is ongoing.
