A police raid at A Community Funeral Home in Houston uncovered a Home Depot bucket filled with human organs alongside 48 boxes of unclaimed cremated remains, an investigation that has now led to the arrest of the home’s director, Unique Green, on theft and forgery charges.
Police carrying out a raid on a Houston funeral home discovered a Home Depot bucket filled with human organs, according to reports, in an investigation that has now led to the arrest of the business’s director. The search took place at A Community Funeral Home in Houston’s Third Ward in November, while a funeral service was reportedly taking place inside the building. Footage of the operation, filmed by ABC13, showed officers with the Houston Police Department removing boxes of cremated human remains from the premises. Director Unique Green now faces charges including theft, forgery and tampering with a government record.
What police found during the raid
The search warrant was executed on 22 November 2025. According to charging documents obtained by ABC13, officers recovered a total of 48 boxes of cremated remains from inside the funeral home, some of which families had been awaiting since 2023. Investigators said they also seized computers, business records and electronic devices during the operation, alongside the cremated remains and the bucket containing human organs.
Police began investigating the funeral home after receiving reports suggesting that the identities of deceased individuals may have been stolen using personal information obtained through the business.
Allegations involving Lawrence Gammon’s estate
Green is separately accused of stealing the estate of an elderly man whose funeral the home had been due to arrange. Lawrence Gammon, 78, died of natural causes in June 2025, according to Harris County court records obtained by The Houston Chronicle. Legal documents obtained by Click2Houston allege that Green opened a bank account in the name “Estate of Lawrence E. Gammon” using a falsified death certificate, before gaining access to his personal accounts.
Prosecutors allege Green falsely claimed to be Gammon’s common-law spouse in order to access his assets, and went on to transfer approximately $2.2 million from his bank accounts. She is further accused of stealing his home and three vehicles, as well as forging a will in an attempt to gain control of his multimillion-dollar estate. Gammon’s remains were reportedly among those recovered by police during the November raid on the funeral home.
Adam Brodrick, chief of consumer fraud at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, said: “When we bury a loved one, we cry together, we smile together, we laugh about good times, and we remember a life well lived. Green has effectively robbed this family of that experience.”
Arrest and charges
The Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office confirmed that Green was arrested on Tuesday afternoon, with bond set at $800,000. Harris County authorities said A Community Funeral Home had previously held a county contract to provide mortuary services as part of the indigent burial programme.
Green’s response
Months before her arrest, Green’s attorney told ABC13 that their client denied any wrongdoing in relation to the allegations. “Ms Green categorically denies any wrongdoing and is confident that the full facts will demonstrate that she acted lawfully and appropriately at all times,” the statement said. “She looks forward to being fully vindicated once she has the opportunity to present evidence and be heard in court.” Green has continued to deny all wrongdoing through her attorney, who has said she intends to contest the allegations in court.
