Prosecutors say a longtime Huron County funeral home owner is facing serious prison time after admitting he stole money meant for people’s funerals. Seventy-two-year-old Terry Alvin Kaufman of Bad Axe pled no contest to multiple felony counts after taking more than a million dollars from prepaid funeral and insurance accounts over ten years.
