\UNIONTOWN, Pa. (WPXI) – Cremated remains were found in a storage unit being used by a Uniontown funeral director already charged with stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from clients, Fayette County District Attorney Richard Bower said Thursday. Twenty-one boxes of cremated remains were found in a large plastic container uncovered in the storage unit during the execution of a search warrant, Bower said. A relative of Stephen Kezmarsky III allowed him to use the storage unit, Bower said. She contacted authorities after finding paperwork from Kezmarsky Funeral Home, which led to the search warrant. Of the 21 boxes of cremated remains found, seven of them were labeled with names. The remaining 14 boxes were not labeled, according to Bower. Kezmarsky faces a list of charges, including 21 counts of abuse of a corpse.
