Unlicensed Houston funeral operator charged in $2.2M theft
Unique Green, also listed as Michael Green, is charged with five felonies after allegedly forging a will and posing as the deceased man’s spouse to steal about $2.2 million plus three vehicles and access to the estate. Prosecutors say Green, described as an unlicensed director of A Community Funeral Home, forged documents to obtain a state license and used a falsified death certificate to open an estate account and siphon funds. Families who hired Green reported delays, and investigative raids in November 2025 revealed boxes of cremains and other materials. Bond was set at $800,000 as Green faced multiple charges including theft, forgery, and tampering with government records, and he did not appear in court as scheduled. Authorities also noted Green impersonated another funeral business’s contact information and had no prior connection to Gammon, the deceased man. The case has prompted scrutiny of unlicensed operators and forged documentation in the funeral service industry.
