Absolutely shocking I’ve followed this case from the start. The amount of victims is astonishing.
Ooh now I’m intrigued how he siphoned off charity money. Could he have also been involved with gifts to charity left in wills? Or any other thoughts?

Money from the collection given by the congregation at the funeral, I'd imagine. Usually, it will say on the order of service that the collection is for a particular charity, which the funeral director then passes on to the charity in question.

Snipped
The case was adjourned until August 13th

These families need justice!

Please can someone remind me, did they drop all charges against the female? Was that his daughter?

Nowhere near as cruel as leaving dead bodies unattended and rotting plus mixing up families loved ones ashes.
There is clearly no low that the accused would stoop to
IMO

Yes they did drop the charges.
I can’t remember if she was ever actually named though.
