After arrest of Jacksonville funeral director, DeSantis signs bill giving state more power to investigate funeral homes “So, the legislature saw this and now that gives us the ability when we do get a complaint and there’s a funeral home for some reason or another that is unoccupied or doesn’t have power, we can go in and act upon it immediately,” Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis said. “And we’ve increased the penalties that if these bad actors are operating in a way that is not in the best interest of Floridians, then we’ve got more teeth to put them behind bars.

Patronis, whose agency oversees funeral homes and mortuaries, also confirms that Graham’s license to operate as a funeral home director and the license for Marion Graham Funeral Home have been permanently revoked by Florida’s Board of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services.Marcela joined News4JAX in 2023.
