"Gruesome Discovery: Woman's Corpse and Dozens of Cremated Remains Found in Evicted Funeral Home"

A former funeral home owner in Colorado, facing financial trouble, kept a deceased woman's body in a hearse for two years and was evicted from his house where police found the cremated remains of at least 30 people. Authorities suspect that he may have provided families with incorrect ashes and failed to complete cremations. This case highlights the lax oversight of Colorado's funeral industry, which has seen a series of horrific cases involving funeral home operators. The former owner is expected to be charged with abuse of a corpse, forgery of the death certificate, and theft of cremation funds, with additional charges possible as the investigation continues.
