A Los Angeles funeral home owner illegally left the remains of 11 people, including infants, in stages of decay and mummification and faces more than a decade in jail, prosecutors said Friday.
City Attorney Mike Feuer, whose office can only file misdemeanor offenses, announced the charges Friday, calling it an"incredibly sad and shocking situation" and said that officials could smell the odor from outside the San Fernando Valley facility.
Funeral homes that mistreat human remains have made headlines for years. Funeral home regulations vary across the U.S., with some states requiring annual inspections and several requiring no inspections at all.
