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.

Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Reporter Michele Newell spoke with a photographer who traveled all the way from England to take pictures of the funeral home for his social media page called Places Forgotten. What he found is something he will never forget. Ben James said he loves to capture the most interesting, abandoned places in the world.

Officials say Ben James, a photographer discovered human remains, ashes, bills and more inside the funeral home.

The building was up for a foreclosure auction before the fire happened. The cause of the fire is undetermined.

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.
