Remains Of 96 Found In Storage Unit
RAW VIDEO: Interview With Funeral Home Trustee link
Posted: 3:41 pm EST December 16, 2009Updated: 8:49 am EST December 17, 2009
ATLANTA -- Nearly 100 boxes of cremated remains left behind by an out-of-business funeral home were found dumped in a metro storage unit. Now the trustee for the funeral home is trying to find family members.
“It is not widely known in the firm that this has even been taking place. It would be emotionally troubling to many people,” said bankruptcy attorney Neil Gordon.
Not even the senior partners at law firm Arnall Golden Gregory knew what was in one of the firm’s closets.
What you are looking at are what’s known as cremains. Cremated remains of decedents,” said Gordon.
Gordon is the trustee for the defunct Sellers Brothers Funeral business. It was formally headquartered in a building on McDaniel Street.
Gordon’s staff was looking for the home’s financial records at two self-storage facilities in East Point when they discovered cremated remains.
“We discovered throughout the back of these storage bins, and there are multiple storage bins, cremated remains. Cremains that date back as much as 25 years,” said Gordon.
Storage facility owner Lacy Shaw agreed to show Channel 2 Action News reporter Jim Strickland the funeral home’s locker.
Strickland asked Shaw, “What’s your reaction to learn there were these cremated remains in your facility?” Shaw said, “That’s really, really, really scary. I didn’t have (any) idea.”
Gordon has four boxes of cremains because he is waiting for court orders in those cases to release them to the medical examiner.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office received 92 containers from the storage facility. Nine remains have no identification. Officials said they have found seven families and are trying to track down the rest.
“They deserve a proper burial. Their loved ones deserve to know that their remains were handled properly,” said Gordon.

(AP) -- Medical examiners and coroners in six Georgia counties are working to identify cremated remains found in a storage unit and to contact families to see how they want the remains handled.
The remains were found by the staff of Neil Gordon, a bankruptcy trustee who is handling the liquidation of the Sellers Brothers Funeral Home.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office received the bulk of the 96 boxes of cremated remains, some of which date back to the mid-1980s.
Juanita Sellers Stone, the last operator of her family's funeral home, says the remains were being stored so families could retrieve them in the future.
The state is investigating the matter to determine whether any sanctions are appropriate.
**************************
Some of these cremains have been held over 20 years
It's going to be more difficult to track down next of kin.
