The Denver District Attorney’s Office has filed additional charges against Miles Harford, the owner of Apollo Funeral and Cremation Services in Littleton.
The charges stem from a disturbing discovery involving improperly stored remains, triggering an expanded investigation into funeral home practices in Denver.
Additional Charges Filed
Denver District Attorney Beth McCann has filed three additional abuse of a corpse charges and four counts of theft-at-risk victim against Miles Harford.
These charges were filed on December 12, 2024, as part of a continued effort to hold him accountable.
Harford, who was originally arrested in February, came under investigation after the remains of a deceased woman and additional cremains were found at his rental property.
The new charges add to the severity of the allegations, reflecting the grave nature of the accusations against him.
Discovery of the Deceased Woman’s Remains
A 63-year-old woman named Christina Rosales was discovered inside an inoperable hearse at Harford’s property.
The body had been in the vehicle since August 2022, and investigators believe it was placed there shortly after her passing.
Alongside Rosales’s remains, the remains of at least 30 other individuals were found in boxes and an inoperable hearse at the rental property.
This disturbing discovery has added to the complexity of the investigation into Harford’s funeral home practices.
History of Apollo Funeral and Cremation Services
Apollo Funeral and Cremation Services, owned by Harford, closed its doors to business in September 2022.
The business came under scrutiny after the discovery of improperly stored remains at Harford’s property.
Investigators recovered cremains believed to belong to at least 30 individuals who had passed away between 2012 and 2021.
The discovery has raised serious questions about the management and operation of the funeral home, highlighting potential issues with the handling of deceased individuals’ remains.
