Five more families have reported cases of defrauded by funeral palours in the Western Cape.
They claimed that the funeral polours sent them the ashes whom they told are for their loved ones, but later the bodies found on their cold rooms.
These also include a baby's body that was allegedly been left at the mortuary, although ashes had been given to her parents.
Last month police launched an investigation into Dominique's Funeral Parlour.
The owner of the parlour, Hein Letago, was arrested on charges of fraud and released on bail on Thursday. His case was postponed until August 25.
