Thread: Electrician keeps finding bodies at closed funeral home

Worker hopes not to find more


DETROIT - Another disturbing discovery was made inside the former Cantrell Funeral Home on Detroit's east side.

The cremated remains of four people were found at the funeral home. A worker stumbled across the remains while cleaning the basement, officials said.

The current owner of the building, Naveed Syed, showed the Defenders where the decomposing bodies of 11 infants were found on Friday. They were hidden inside the ceiling of the shuttered funeral home, officials said.

The remains of four more people were found in the basement, two Wednesday and two over the last couple of days. Many people are worried there could be more discoveries, because there's more cleanup to do and the facility is large.

Joe Summers is an electrician rewiring the building.

"I found a couple of them yesterday, but I didn't think it was going to continue," Summers said.

The discoveries did continue Wednesday morning...

If you watched the video on the above story the guy is really spooked about possibly finding more bodies, and with good reason. This happened there a few months ago:

We had a local funeral home hit with several violations about 6 months back. Our local community freaked out. I cant imagine something on this level. The horror of wondering where auntie Mae is.

Good thing. It’s getting a bit gamey in there.

The whole "ashes in the urn thing." I don't think I can relate to it personally. I know that is part of some Asian culture practice, but sometimes taken too far (i.e., ancestor worship).
