The remains were recovered a week ago amid concerns about 'storage and management processes relating to care of the deceased'.
Police believe they have contacted all the families of 35 people whose remains were recovered in a raid on a Hull funeral home. Humberside Police said National Crime Agency experts were helping to establish 'if what has been respectfully recovered are in fact human ashes'. 'I can confirm that whilst formal identification procedures are ongoing, we do believe we have contacted all families of the 35 deceased,' said Assistant Chief Constable Thom McLoughlin.
I just don't know what to think. I just really don't know,' said Louisa Millington. Billie-Jo Suffill, 33, told the Daily Mirror she felt 'physically sick' because she never received her father's ashes. 'I bet my dad was not even in the coffin - it was an empty coffin,' she said. 'I was kissing an empty coffin. When I think about it, it is disgusting. It's like something out of a horror movie.
