Iowa Insurance Division Takes Action Against Emmetsburg Funeral Home Owner

Des Moines, Iowa — The Iowa Insurance Division has issued a cease and desist order against the owner of funeral homes in Emmetsburg and Graettinger. Division spokesman, Chance McElhaney says the order involves pre-sales.


McElhaney says Joyce has used deceptive and fraudulent activities in handling the sales.


McElhaney says they are seeking help in determining how many people are involved.


He says they have sent out letters to those who they know were working with the two funeral homes. This latest action follows a recent request for a receivership to try and protect the funds that are held in trust by the funeral homes.
