UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A Uniontown funeral home director who authorities said stole a half million dollars’ worth of prepaid funeral policy payments from the elderly was sentenced to prison on Tuesday.
Stephen Kezmarsky has been sentenced to four to eight years in prison,
20 years of probation and $555,000 in restitution. The district attorney
had asked for 15-30 years.
According to the Office of Attorney General Josh Shaprio, Kezmarsky
accepted the payments from 2005 until 2017 but never submitted the
policies to the insurance company.
“Anyone who defrauds Pennsylvanians, especially vulnerable people
planning for the end of their lives, will be held to account for their
crimes,” Shapiro said. “For 12 years, Kezmarsky deceived dozens of
Pennsylvanians who believed they were making final plans, and now he
will spend a long time behind bars and repay what he stole.”
