The owner of a now-shuttered Sun Valley funeral home is facing misdemeanor charges after allegedly failing to properly bury or cremate the remains of 11 people, including some infants.
“Picture how you would feel if your loved one were sent to a funeral home to be properly cared for," Feuer said."And instead, this happened.”
The bodies were found by the California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau, the L.A. County Coroner’s Office, and the Los Angeles Police Department. “We’re fighting to get justice for these families in this incredibly sad and shocking situation,” Feuer said. “Their deaths are one tragedy, and this alleged monstrous mistreatment is a second tragedy.”
Allen violated California Health and Safety codes that charge anyone who places human remains in any palace other than a cemetery with a misdemeanor. If convicted, Allen could face up to 11 years in jail and a $110,000 fine.What questions do you have about Southern California?
