CORNING, Calif. - The family of a dead elderly woman cremated her remains on a makeshift barbecue and continued collecting her retirement checks amounting to more than $25,000, authorities in Northern California said. Ramona Allmond's daughter and grandson were arrested Sunday on suspicion of embezzlement, elder abuse and disposing of a body without a permit.

Allmond, 84, likely died of natural causes, though investigators were still trying to determine the exact cause of death, said Tehama County sheriff's Capt. Paul Hosler.

Allmond's daughter, Kathleen Allmond, 50, and Allmond's grandson, Tony Ray, 30, told investigators their relative died in December. They left her body on her bedroom floor for a week before cremating the remains in their backyard fire pit, Hosler said.

Investigators said the two kept collecting Allmond's monthly retirement checks, amounting to more than $25,000. Sheriff's Detective Richard Knox said they may have been trying to honor Allmond's desire to die at home and be cremated.

Two relatives of a Corning woman whose body was burned in a barbecue pit were sentenced Monday to 16 months in prison.

Kathleen Theresa Allmond, 50, and her son Tony Ray, 30, both of Corning, pleaded guilty in November to one felony count of grand theft and one misdemeanor count of unlawful cremation. Authorities said the pair cashed more than $20,000 of retirement and Social Security checks after Ramona Yolanda Allmond, Kathleen Allmond’s 84-year-old mother, died of apparent natural causes.
