Funeral home employee sentenced for pocketing payments PDF Print E-mail

MUNCIE, Ind. A former Muncie funeral home employee convicted of pocketing cash payments meant to pay for funerals and cemetery plot reservations has been sentenced to 20 days in jail.

Forty-three-year-old Eddie Edgerton will also serve two years on probation and pay restitution in the sentence imposed Monday by a Delaware County judge.

He will spend his 20 days of jail time on weekend and was ordered to pay back over 27-hundred-dollars to the funeral home at a rate of at least 25-dollars a week and undergo substance abuse evaluation.

Edgerton was an advanced planning salesman at Elm Ridge Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Muncie. Authorities say customers would pay Edgerton in cash, but he never passed the money on to the funeral home.
