The bodies, in a state of decomposition, will need to be identified through DNA testing. Authorities are investigating the incident and working with various agencies. Families of the deceased will be notified once bodies can be identified, but DNA testing could take months. The funeral home owners are cooperating with the investigation, and it is unclear if a crime has been committed. A disaster declaration has been made, and local officials have declared an emergency.
