Police looking to return cremated remains found at Niagara-area thrift store
Niagara police seek to identify the owner of a sealed wooden urn with suspected cremated remains, marked with ID number 528395, donated to a local thrift store.
- On Nov. 24, officers were called to the West Lincoln Community Care Thrift Store after staff discovered suspected cremated remains among donated items.
- Between Nov. 19 and Nov. 20, a sealed wooden urn containing what is believed to be cremated remains was dropped off at a donation bay behind the West Lincoln Community Care Thrift Store.
- Uncertainty persists as Niagara Regional Police say they have not determined whether the remains are human or animal, and the urn is marked with a six‑digit number detectives believe links to a cremation service.
- Police are asking the public and cremation‑industry professionals to contact them if they recognise the urn or identification number, and anyone with information is asked to call Niagara Regional Police.
- The Niagara Regional Police Service detachment in 1 District, based in St. Catharines, is handling the case, and The Canadian Press first published the report Nov. 27, 2025.
