She must also pay a fine of $300,000, CBSPhilly reports.
According to the board, Powell-Dailey "failed to fulfill one of the most fundamental responsibilities that a licensee has, to treat the deceased with dignity and respect."
Authorities say three bodies were discovered inside a garage at the 2600 block of West Hagert Street in August, with two bodies inside a box and one body inside a casket. The garage is owned by Powell-Dailey.
Powell-Dailey allegedly was paid by the families of the deceased individuals to provide funeral services that never were completed, police said.
