A New York funeral parlor of horrors named “Camelot” buried grieving families in massive bills while their loved ones’ decomposing bodies piled up in a garage like packages in a warehouse, officials alleged.
Michael Naughton, 55, of Long Island was operating the funeral home in Mount Vernon in Westchester County despite his license being revoked seven years ago — defrauding dozens of New Yorkers who trusted him to properly take care of their relatives as they mourned, prosecutors with state Attorney General Letitia James’ office said in a.20-count indictment unsealed Thursday.
“Planning a loved one’s funeral can be among the most difficult and vulnerable times in a person’s life. Naughton heartlessly took advantage of New Yorkers while knowingly operating his funeral home without a license and failed to take proper care of the remains in his possession,” James said in a statement.
