US EditionFuneral home recovers 300+ piles of human remains outside Las Vegas; investigation deepens
Federal investigators continue examining 315 piles of cremated remains likely dumped illegally by a funeral home, with all remains lacking identifiable information, officials said.
- On July 28, a local man stumbled upon more than 300 piles of cremated human remains scattered near Searchlight, Nevada, sparking an investigation.
- Investigators say the piles likely came from a commercial funeral home, while federal rules under the Bureau of Land Management forbid commercial dumping on federal land, though Nevada state law allows scattering ashes.
- Palm Mortuaries and Cemeteries staff handled removal and placed about 315 piles into bags and individual urns, planning to inter them in a cemetery crypt for families to visit.
- Months later, federal investigators continue to seek who dumped the piles, confirming in August the remains were human while naming no suspect or specific mortuary business.
- Palm Mortuaries says it will inter the remains so loved ones can pay respects, while netizens and commenters likened the plots to mob dumping and called for scrutiny of funeral practices.
