The owner of a Toledo funeral home, where several bodies intended for cremation were found decaying, had now been charged with abuse of a corpse. Robert Tate Jr., according to officials on Wednesday, was accused of treating a corpse in a way that would outrage most people. The charge is a felony. Tate had previously had his license suspended, and he has been sued by the family of one man whose body was among those discovered in the funeral home. Eleven bodies were taken from Tate Funeral Services following a complaint. Most of the bodies had been stored in cremation boxes and body bags inside a garage with a leaking roof and wet floor, and at least one had been there since January according to state investigators.
