A former Mississippi funeral home proprietor has been charged with unlawfully storing corpses in a storage unit. He reportedly referred to it as his “casket warehouse” on TikTok after his business license was revoked, authorities report.
“Discovering human remains in a storage unit within our community is highly unsettling and prompts serious concerns requiring a comprehensive investigation,” stated Greenville Mayor Errick D. Simmons following the arrest of Albert “Al” Creath, 31, which was announced by the Washington County Sheriff’s Department last week.
Creath, a former owner of the Creath Memorial Services funeral home in Greenville, was arrested and charged with two counts of improper desecration of corpses after authorities found three bodies inside of a storage unit belonging to him at a facility in the 2000 block of Reed Road near Beauchamp, The Clarion-Ledger reports.
Washington County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Billy Barber told The Delta News that he believed Creath was trying to continue hosting funerals and burials, which he advertised for on social media. He said the bodies were discovered during a suspected burglary.

“This is an isolated incident from somebody just not doing what they were initially assigned to do with these corpses,” Barber said.
Videos posted on a TikTok account purportedly belonging to Creath, who goes by “FuneralHomeCEO” online, show him stowing away caskets and other funeral items inside of a storage unit.

“My 2nd home,” he says in a caption for a video from September 2024.
“Casket warehouse,” Creath adds.
Authorities say they are probing the former funeral home owner and his actions since losing the business license to see if they warrant any other charges.
“As more details emerge, we will continue to keep the public informed,” Simmons said. “Greenville is a community that values dignity, respect, and the rule of law. We will not tolerate any actions that violate those principles. I understand an arrest has been made but I also urge others with information to come forward and assist authorities in their investigation.”
