Pull out from video store sign to store STORYLINE: A church service has been held in the U-S state of Georgia on Tuesday for relatives facing the horror of planning funerals for loved ones they thought were resting in peace, as more corpses were found around a crematorium. Forensics teams have now recovered 149 bodies outside the Tri-State Crematorium 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, while officials say they expect to find as many as 200 bodies. Ray Brent Marsh, operator of the crematorium, has been arrested for a second time, while authorities filed 11 new theft-by-deception charges against him, bringing the total to 16. Investigators went to Marsh's home on Tuesday, armed with a search warrant, looking for business records. They found another coffin at the house which 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 said the gruesome discoveries had been very hard on her elderly parents. Dr Kris Sperry, the state's chief medical examiner, said the numbers of bodies discovered was growing by the hour. Officials have also examined the contents of 51 urns sent to relatives - some contained powdered cement or potting soil rather than human remains. Other urns appeared to contain human remains, but it wasn't clear whose they were. Investigators say Marsh told them the bodies weren't cremated because the incinerator was broken. Authorities say they're not sure how long the incinerator was broken, but there was evidence that some bodies had been dumped more than 15 years ago.
