Half a dozen agencies have joined the investigation into a burned Cobb County funeral home after a photographer from England found urns, bags of human ashes, and even human remains in what is left of the building. Norman Medford Peden Funeral Home and Crematory caught fire earlier this year.

The Norman Medford-Peden Funeral Home and Crematory in Marietta was what’s known as a pre-need establishment. Like a lot of funeral homes, they had the ability to accept pre-payment on anything from funeral services and caskets to headstones and burial plots.
