6 bodies and 154 cremated remains were stored in California warehouse, authorities say

HAYWARD, Calif. — The bodies of six people and the cremated remains of 154 others were recovered earlier this month from a former crematorium that had its license suspended five years ago, authorities said.

The Alameda County Sheriff's Office in a statement said it is seeking help in reuniting one of the bodies and the 154 cremated remains with their families.

The remains were associated with Oceanview Cremations. Sheriff's Office spokeperson Lt. Tya Modeste said the business' license was suspended in March 2018 but that the bodies it is trying to reunite with families came to the business between 2013 and 2021.
