Eerie discoveries in the home of the owner of a funeral business surprised investigators (3 photos)

Authorities say the grisly "collection" was discovered in the home of 34-year-old Miles Harford during his eviction earlier this year.





Miles Harford, 34, a funeral home owner in Colorado, is accused of illegally storing 35 cremated human remains in his home. He now plans to enter a plea deal.

A man is set to face two counts of forgery and one count each of mutilation of a dead body and theft in a Denver courtroom.



Officers say the grisly finds were made in Harford's home during an eviction earlier this year in February. Thirty-five human remains, cremated, were allegedly hidden throughout the home, from the basement to the hearse where investigators found the body of Christina Rosales, who died of Alzheimer's disease at age 63, covered in blankets in the backseat.



This is the latest in a series of lawsuits filed against Colorado funeral homes over the past decade. One involved the illegal sale of body parts, and another involved the distribution of nearly 200 urns containing fake ashes to families.

Colorado has some of the weakest funeral and funeral home laws in the United States. Such unfortunate cases have prompted local officials to implement reforms, including Mayor Jared Polis signing two bills to overhaul the industry and improve regulations.
