More To Probe At Closed Funeral Home

Oct 18, 2018 | 1:34 PM

Another disturbing discovery was made inside the former Cantrell Funeral Home on Detroit’s east side.

The cremated remains of four people were found at the former Cantrell Funeral Home. A worker found the remains while cleaning the basement.

The current owner of the building, Naveed Syed, says remains of 11 infants were hidden inside the ceiling of the shuttered funeral home. He is cooperating with state authorities. The state wants to know why the former owners did not properly care for the remains. The state shut down Cantrell in April and removed 21 rotting bodies from the garage.
