Description
A former funeral director is accused of mishandling the ashes of his landlord’s stepson, which were found inside a Denver home during an eviction, 9NEWS Investigates has learned.
This week, prosecutors added three charges of abuse of a corpse against Miles Harford, the former owner of Apollo Funeral & Cremation Services. Harford was already awaiting trial on accusations that he kept a woman’s body inside a broken-down hearse in the backyard of the home for more than a year.
One of the added charges names Caden Williamson, the stepson of Kelly Williamson, who owned the home where the eviction occurred.
In her first interview since Harford’s arrest, Williamson told 9NEWS Consumer Investigator Steve Staeger that police contacted her family days after discovering the woman’s body and also boxes and urns filled with cremated remains. They told her family that Caden’s cremated remains were among the other boxes scattered around the home.
“We're not sure we have him,” Kelly Williamson said. “Somebody else who we didn't give permission to still had a part of someone you've loved dearly. It's just so wrong.”
