As the excavation process at Oaklawn Cemetery was expanded on Nov. 15 to the west from the western block, six additional burials were found, officials said.
Three of the six burials are now in the process of being hand excavated, according to officials.
One additional set of remains, which was not discovered on Nov. 15, was exhumed Tuesday evening, officials said. This brought the total number of exhumations since October 26 to five and the total number of burials found to 32, explained officials.
Officials said work will continue on the newly found burials to determine whether they meet the criteria for exhumation, as archaeological experts haven’t quite gotten far enough down to make determinations on the features of those burials, yet.
