Former Funeral Home Owner Arrested for Mishandling Corpses

The arrest highlights systemic issues in Colorado's funeral home regulations, prompting legislative action.

A former funeral home owner in Colorado was arrested for keeping a corpse in a hearse for two years and hoarding the cremated remains of 35 people.
The discovery is part of a series of misconducts by Colorado funeral home owners, including nearly 200 decomposing bodies found last year.
Authorities are pressing for stronger state funeral home regulations, with lawmakers proposing a bill for routine inspections and stricter qualifications.
The suspect, Miles Harford, faces charges including abuse of a corpse and forgery of a death certificate.
The Colorado Funeral Directors Association supports the proposed regulatory changes.
