being prepared for viewing. >> sir, are you a licensed funeral director? >> are you, sir? >> i'm calling my attorney. >> reporter: according to state records, johns is not a licensed funeral director. he's a licensed funeral trainee, meaning he has to work under the supervision of a licensed funeral director. >> for months now i've been trying to let the board know that there's been unlicensed activity going on in the building. >> reporter: mr. johns, how are you doing? mitch blacher with the nbc 10 investigators. when we went back to ask johns about his business, he again told us to call his lawyer but wouldn't give us a number or tell us who his lawyer is. >> are you working as a funeral director? you're not doing funerals? you're not preparing bodies for burial? >> reporter: it's not the first time recently we've seen unlicensed activity in a pennsylvania funeral home. last summer we saw it twice in one week in philadelphia. first police discovered decomposing bodies in blair hawkins' unlicensed funeral home. days later, they found three
