HOUSTON \u2013 The Houston Police Department served a search warrant at a Houston funeral home after the owners are accused stealing the identities of the deceased and operating the business without a license.<\/p>\n
About 20 HPD officers showed up to the A Community Funeral Home, located at 2517 Wheeler Street, on Friday to serve the warrant, which is apart of an ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n
According to court records, Unique Mica Green, 45, was arrested on a forgery charge on Nov. 7. Records show Green forged the signature of a man, over the 65 years of age, on a fraudulent lien document, which is the A Community Funeral Home.<\/p>\n
Police said as the warrant was being served, a funeral was going on. The funeral had to be stopped and moved to another funeral home.<\/p>\n
At the scene, KPRC 2\u2019s photographer Michael Edison witnessed police leaving out the funeral home, carrying four to five boxes of records and cremation boxes. In total, a dozen cremains were seized.<\/p>\n
The cremation boxes were put in the back of a vehicle.<\/p>\n
KPRC 2 discovered an image of Green on a banner outside the property.<\/p>\n

No bodies were found in the building, only a few cremations were recovered.<\/p>\n
Green is listed as the President of the A Community Funeral Home, according to the banner on the side of the building.<\/p>\n
Houston Police said the cremains removed from the funeral home were taken to police headquarters for safekeeping. <\/p>\n
Green was detained, but it is unclear if the District Attorney\u2019s office will file new charges related to today\u2019s warrant.<\/p>\n
KPRC 2 speaks to a family member waiting for cremains<\/p>\n
KPRC 2 News reporter Corley Peel spoke with Taysha Rhodes, who said she has been trying to retrieve her uncle Fred\u2019s cremains from the funeral home for two years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a slap in the face. It was a letdown,\u201d Rhodes said.<\/p>\n
Rhodes said her family chose the funeral home because Green was a family friend. Her family paid about $3,600 for her uncle\u2019s cremains, but she has not heard from Green since February.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not only the fact that you betrayed us and we don\u2019t know where my uncle\u2019s body is. It\u2019s the fact you have the money. We have nothing\u2014nothing of my uncle. Not even a necklace that we paid for. My uncle deserves more. He deserves to be at his final resting place with his family,\u201d said Rhodes.<\/p>\n
