From April 30, 1999 Jewish Journal:
Chevra Kadisha [Mortuary] was temporarily closed in December 1997 just before its founder, Zalman Manela, was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading no contest to charges of forgery and grand theft. He was accused of stealing some $55,000 from a deceased woman, Celia Klein, according to LAPD Detective Stacey Morris, the primary investigator in the case. Manela intended to use the money to pay for Klein's funeral and to donate funds in her memory to charity, Manela's wife, Rachel, told The Journal. He returned all the money immediately upon his arrest, Morris said.
