The owner of Gundel Funeral Homes is facing even more financial and legal troubles. Now his bank is suing him.
The problems just keep mounting for Benjamin Siar Jr., the owner of Gundel Funeral Home. Over the past year, he has faces numerous charges and lawsuits and it just got a lot worse.
This week, things got a lot worse for Siar, the owner of Gundel Funeral Home. He just found out M&T Bank is suing him seeking a judgment of $388,000 after Siar defaulted on a business loan.
But this is just the beginning of Siar's problems. Earlier this month, he was arrested on four counts of abuse of a corpse and theft by deception. Police say four decomposing bodies were found at his Conestoga business and he took money to cremate bodies and never did.
Also, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs filed a 24-count complaint charging the 41-year-old of professional misconduct. These charges could cost hundreds of thousands and the loss of his license.
In December, he was evicted from his Lancaster City business for owing $12,000 to the landlord. He recently lost a $737 judgment and still owes $215 from a Public Drunkenness arrest from last October.
M&T Bank declined to comment. Siar is in jail unable to post a $250,000 bail. His lawyer also would not talk to us.
