"My Mom and Dad moved to Florida after my sister passed away and this is really ... my mother does not know what to think. I haven't really talked to my Dad he is the quiet type. My Mom is really mad right now, I went through that, I've went through the crying spells. I'm probably going to be with her next week hopefully they find something out before then, if not togetherness is what we need right now anyways."

"They were highly thought of. They were active in the community, they were active in the civic affairs and it is just unbelievable that something like this could happen you know. You know in the back of our minds we keep wondering, you know what was in their minds in doing this you know and they had to know sooner or later somebody is going to find out."

"You know we didn't expect anything like this. It's like I said we've all got our skeletons but we didn't know we had that many."

STORYLINE:
As the ground around a Georgia crematory yielded more corpses, family members faced the horror of planning funerals for loved ones they had long believed were resting in peace. Forensics teams on Tuesday had recovered 149 bodies outside the Tri-State Crematory in Noble, Georgia, finding skeletons sealed in vaults and bodies that had been dragged into a shed. Twenty-seven bodies have been identified and about nine have been returned to relatives and officials said they expected to find as many as 200 bodies.
Ray Brent Marsh, operator of the crematory, was arrested for a second time and authorities filed 11 new theft-by-deception charges against him, bringing the total to 16.
Investigators turned to Marsh's residence on Tuesday, armed with a search warrant, looking for business records. They found another coffin at the residence and upon opening it found it contained a human skeleton.
Michelle Fields has spent a frustrating two days trying to find out what happened to the remains of her younger sister Samantha Webb Swinney who died a year and a half ago from cystic fibrosis. Showing reporters a photograph of Samantha, Fields says the gruesome discoveries has been particularly hard on her elderly parents.
Dr Kris Sperry, the state's chief medical examiner said the numbers of bodies discovered grow by the hour.
Officials have also examined the contents of 51 urns that had been sent to relatives - some contained powdered cement or potting soil rather than human remains.
Other urns appeared to contain human remains, but it was not clear whose.
