HOUSTON – A Houston funeral home director accused of stealing a dead man’s estate stormed out of the Harris County criminal courthouse Friday morning, claiming to be a “celebrity” who had nothing to say — then quickly changed course and started hurling insults.
Unique Green is accused of posing as the wife of Lawrence Gammon after his death last summer and allegedly forging paperwork to claim his estate, which included his home, vehicles, and retirement accounts.
Green was hired by Gammon’s family to handle his funeral arrangements, according to records, but they grew suspicious after not receiving the services they paid for and sharing his personal information documents over email.
Green speaks — briefly — outside court
When asked how Green made an $800,000 bond earlier this week, Green offered no explanation.
“Get out of my face,” Green said.
Asked about forged documents prosecutors say were filed to steal Gammon’s estate, Green had no answers.
“Get you some shoes that look good,” Green said to the reporter wearing brown leather heels. “Did your mother forge them?”
When asked about organs investigators allegedly found inside a Home Depot bucket during a raid of her Third Ward funeral home, Green told the reporter the organs “were for you to eat for lunch.”
Houston police raided Green’s funeral home as part of the investigation in November 2025.
Five felony charges, including license fraud
Green faces five felony charges. In addition to allegedly forging paperwork to claim Gammon’s estate, Green is also accused of forging paperwork submitted to the state funeral commission to obtain funeral director and embalming licenses, according to the source material.
Green’s attorney, Gilbert Villarreal, defended his client outside court.
“She has always claimed her innocence, she’s not guilty and there’s an explanation for all this evidence against her,” Villarreal said.
Conditions of release
Green is currently out of jail on bond.
As a condition of release, Green is ordered not to engage — directly or indirectly — in planning any end-of-life services in Harris County.
That order includes not accepting money for those services or holding out to be someone qualified to perform them.
Court is next scheduled for early September.
