Ashes to Ashes

Eric Prince is the undertaker to the stars. When Hollywood gossip columnist, Verity Chandler, drops in at his latest celebrity funeral to tell him her next expose will be about him, he kills her. He cremates her body instead of the latest movie star client and her ashes are sprinkled by helicopter over the Hollywood hills. When Chandler's disappearance is reported to the police, Lt. Colombo is asked to look into the case. He's immediately puzzled with some of the things he finds and concludes that Prince likely switched the bodies he cremated. Proving it however is another matter altogether.
