Family members said someone stole an urn with a man’s ashes after his funeral in Pennsylvania.

A service for 42-year-old Sam Abreght was held over the weekend at the Salvation Army in York. His remains were divided into three urns, one of which was to go to his mother.

Family friend Sherrie Ritz told WGAL-TV most people gathered in a back room after the funeral and that is when the urn was taken. Ritz is asking the person to return it.

As of writing, police are checking pawn shops. HM/NVG
