LEWISTON The state pulled the operating and funeral licenses of a city cremation business Monday after discovering several sets of remains at the business last week that had been improperly handled.
An investigator who visited Affordable Cremation Solutions Thursday said at least eight unrefrigerated bodies had been there since mid-May.
“The health and physical safety of the public are in immediate jeopardy” because the owner, Kenneth Kincer, has failed to follow state rules, according to an order announcing the license suspensions issued by Chad Poitras, chairman of the state Board of Funeral Services.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Department of Health will not appeal a federal court ruling that barred the state from not allowing people to change the gender listings on their birth certificates.
Instead, the agency is working on a process for people to request the change and expects to have it in place by June 1, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Tuesday, citing a court filing made Thursday.
The court ruling issued last December came in response to a lawsuit brought by four transgender people. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio found the state s rule that prohibited making a change to a person s gender on their birth certificate was unconstitutional. The rule was made by the health department and the Office of Vital Statistics.

The name of Rima Samman’s brother, Rami, is among the stones in a beachfront memorial honoring COVID-19 victims. She knows in her heart the 40-year-old died because of the coronavirus last May, but his death certificate says otherwise.
Now, Rima Samman is seeking to correct the record. And while monetary relief isn’t her motivation, Samman says she is unable to apply for FEMA’s funeral assistance because her sibling’s manner of death is listed as “natural causes.” Her family paid about $5,500 for a funeral home to take care of his services, including cremation, she said.
