Mark Seepe, who faced earlier problems that cost him his license, has now been indicted for conversion and 6 other counts by two different grand juries. Seepe was arrested last week at his home; the indictments allege Seepe “knowingly and willfully misapplied or converted the pre-need funds to his own personal use.”

These are the first criminal charges he has faced. The issue last year resulted in the loss of his professional license and business operating license, as well as civil litigation, but no other fallout.

The owner of Seepe Funeral Home & Crematory, in Jackson, MS, is under investigation for desecration of a corpse. At least two former employees have come forward with evidence that Mark Seepe had given cremains to one family before their family member was cremated, as well as photos of bones from multiple cremations mixed together.
