John Olszewski, an ex-Michigan Funeral Home Director, has pleaded guilty to mishandling $13,000 in prepaid burial expenses in a plea bargain agreement with prosecutors. He was recently sentenced by a judge and ordered to return the funds to the six customers that were affected. As a result of these events, Olszewski had to close his funeral home in New Haven, Michigan. Mr. Olszewski blames his wife for actually misappropriating the funds because he alleges that she failed to place the funds he received in escrow.
