Decomposing bodies were found at an improperly run and unlicensed funeral
home in upstate New York, police announced this weekend.
Officers in Johnstown stated on Saturday that an investigation had on
Friday turned up several bodies and cremated ashes at the Ehle-Barnett
Funeral Home. Police first began looking into the situation on Monday when
a family reported being unable to reach owner Brian M. Barnett for weeks
after contracting his business for cremation services.
The early investigation into the matter revealed that Barnett's funeral
home license had been suspended in late November, and that the home
operated out of had never been licensed and was not properly set up to
house remains. After several unsuccessful attempts to reach Barnett, the
business owner reached out to police himself and confirmed that the
remains the family was concerned about were still in his possession.
Further investigation into Barnett's operation revealed another body that
was reportedly turned over to his unlicensed funeral home late last year.
Once the home was finally searched on Friday, police found several corpses
in states of "advanced decomposition." These bodies were also not being
"stored in a temperature controlled location and were not cared for in any
manner," and were kept in close proximity to everyday household items and
furniture.
More badly decayed bodies were found in the garage and determined to have
been stored there for a long time.
"Dozens" of containers of cremated ashes were also found.
"Some containers listed the identification of the individual, however
there were several containers that did not have a visible identification
tag and which were open," the Johnstown police department noted in its
official press release.
The process of identifying the bodies is now being handled by the Fulton
County Coroner's Office with aid from the state police. Families will be
contacted once their loved ones have been identified.
"If families have had services with the Ehle-Barnett funeral home and have
not received the remains of their loved ones, they can contact the Fulton
County Coroner's Office or the Johnstown Police Department," the press
release stated. "We ask that family members have the date, time and
location of when their loved one passed away. The Johnstown Police
Department would like to thank the A.G. Cole Funeral home for the
respectful handling of the remains. Family members may also email
***@cityofjohnstown.ny.gov with any questions regarding this sensitive
investigation."
A similar incident unfolded at a funeral home in Pocatello, Idaho, in
early September. Fire and EMS crews responded to reports of a strong odor
coming from the building and an investigation turned up numerous decaying
bodies, among them several fetuses.
