CINCINNATI — Dellaina Grundy isn't sure whether any of the cremated remains buried in her father's grave in a veterans cemetery are his, and she doesn't expect to ever know.

"I have had to move on, but it's something that will always be with me," Grundy said recently of the emotional pain from learning that a box of remains bearing her father's name had been found at a former funeral home director's house in Dayton.

The box with Leroy Metcalfe's name was among 55 boxes of cremated remains found there in 2012 - a decade after his family buried what they believed to be the Army veteran's ashes at Dayton National Cemetery

The Montgomery County coroner's office notified Grundy in September 2012 about the remains at a house co-owned by Scherrie McLin, former director of the funeral home that handled Metcalfe's 2002 burial.

Police said a contractor removing items from the foreclosed house found the boxes in a closet.
