The Lancaster County DA has opened an investigation on a popular funeral home.
Gundel Funeral Home as been serving this area since 1944. But that could soon end. Amongst other violations, we're told the funeral home lost a body.
The Funeral Home in Conestoga is being investigated by the District Attorney. A representative with the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association tells CBS 21 News that they have received many complaints about the business.
Some of the complaints include mishandling of cremated remains, not publishing paid obituaries, not returning phone calls, and missing money. We are also told at this time there is a missing body.
The current owner, Ben Siar, according to Lancaster Online, bought the business from the Gundel family a few years ago. The owners were not willing to give us a comment.
Lancaster Online did get a chance to speak to the owner who admitted to making mistakes but said none of them were malicious.
