> An investigation by the Associated Press found that the two owners probably sent fake ashes and fabricated cremation records. They appear to have written on death certificates given to families, along with ashes, that the cremations were performed by Wilbert Funeral Services, which denies performing them for the funeral home at that time.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just perform the cremations? I don't understand how keeping bodies in storage would somehow be a better option.
