“Many of the families say that they paid to have their loved one’s ashes dispersed at sea, and obviously that didn’t happen,” she said. Modeste said the remains date back to 2013 and that Oceanview Cremations received them from families in 15 Northern California counties but that the business did a poor job keeping records and that no contracts were found.
The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau has identified five of the bodies and has a tentative identification of the other one, Modeste. The ash remains have tags with names and the county where the person died, but no other information or contact information for next of kin, she said.
