Investigations have started into a fire that partially destroyed the upper floor of Dennie’s Funeral Home in Belmont yesterday morning. According to a police report, Molotov cocktails were thrown through a glass window at 4.47 am, causing the area where it landed to be set on fire.
Police said they believe the person or people behind the attack tampered with the surveillance cameras before throwing the flammable substance since nothing was seen on the footage.
Several workers were at the funeral home cleaning up yesterday afternoon.
The funeral home was tossed into the limelight last year when it facilitated a funeral in which the corpse was made to sit in a chair and driven in the back of an open-air vehicle.
In February, a hearse belonging to the funeral home burst into flames along the North Coast Road as it transported a dead person to a funeral in las Cuevas.
