Shocking Discovery: 389 Embalmed Bodies Found at Crematorium by US–Mexico Border

Grim Discovery Near U.S. Border

On 29 June, in Ciudad Juárez, a city that borders the United States, Mexican officials discovered a horrific image inside a private crematorium.

Authorities found nearly 400 human remains—383 complete bodies and six partial sets—stacked on the facility floor. They reported that some had been dead for up to four years, and noted that many appeared embalmed.

Initially, investigators counted 341 bodies, but a further 42 were discovered days later, bringing the total to 389. The facility, described as unsanitary and ill-equipped, resembled a residential building more than a proper funeral establishment. The dead were discovered piled “indiscriminately,” according to officials, which raises grave ethical and public health issues.

Criminal Charges and Misrepresentation

Authorities have arrested the crematorium’s owner, Jose Luis Arellano Cuaron, and an employee. Both face charges for the improper disposal of human remains and possible violations under Mexico’s General Health Law.

Investigators say the facility had received corpses for cremation from at least six different funeral homes over several years but never followed through with the cremation process.

Rather, the operators allegedly gave canisters of ashes—not the ashes of their loved ones—to distraught relatives. Authorities think the men purposefully mislead families and funeral directors hundreds of times.

Community Shock and Government Response

The discovery has sent shockwaves across Chihuahua state. Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván condemned the operators as “irresponsible and unscrupulous,” vowing to hold those involved accountable. State prosecutors emphasized that the operation had been running unchecked for years, misusing permits to engage in what has now been described as a potential mass fraud.

Authorities have launched an identification process and opened channels for families who suspect their relatives may be among the dead.

The community is demanding answers, with many questioning how such a large-scale breach of funeral ethics went undetected for so long.

Human rights groups, including Ciudad Juárez’s Women’s Roundtable Network, have voiced concerns over whether some remains could belong to migrants or missing persons, highlighting the region’s long-standing issues with violence and disappearances.

Wider Implications

This case has reignited fears about funeral malpractice and oversight failures in Mexico’s border regions. It also comes amid growing anxiety over the safety of migrants near the U.S. border, where many have disappeared or fallen victim to criminal groups.

As forensic teams work to identify the remains and notify families, the scandal continues to draw international attention. For now, Ciudad Juárez remains the focus of a deeply troubling investigation—one that reveals a haunting failure of trust, regulation, and basic human dignity.

The number of decomposing bodies found stacked in a non-descript building at the Mexico-US border is still rising, according to investigators. Nearly 400 corpses have been accounted for at the site in Juarez, which is just across the border from El Paso in Texas, including 383 complete human bodies and 6 partial remains, according to the TV station KVIA. Some of the people found at the suspected secret crematorium are thought to have been dead for three to four years. Stacks of cadavers were found after a tip led authorities on Thursday to a property that looked more like a home than an incinerator. Tap the link for the full story on DailyMail.com.
