The business also defaulted on several debts in recent years.

Warren funeral homes in Fulton and Columbia remain closed after the Missouri attorney general's office says it found a decaying woman's body that had been stored in an electrical room at the Columbia funeral home for 10 months without being embalmed or refrigerated.
