Prosecutors said more cremated remains were found at the home of a Colorado funeral home owner, where a rotting corpse and 35 other cremated remains were discovered last month.
Miles Harford appears in court to hear the charges against him on Friday, March 8, 2024, in Denver. Harford, a former funeral home owner accused of keeping a woman's corpse in the back of a hearse for two years and hoarding the cremated remains of 35 people, has been charged with forgery, theft and abuse of a corpse.
The cases have shaken hundreds of Colorado families, leaving most to wonder if the cremated remains they received were actually their loved ones', and many to learn that the ashes they spread, or clutched for years, weren't. The discoveries have shattered the grieving process, with some having nightmares of their family members' bodies decomposing.
“We do have sets of cremains that should have been with their loved ones,” said Friedberg, who added that a number of people who are still alive, but had already paid Harford for future funeral arrangements, had contacted investigators.
