South Carolina ? The back seat of a Buick wasn’t intended to be Izetta Dickerson’s final resting place, but that’s where an urn containing her cremated remains was found.

“The owner said he doesn’t know how it got there,” said Demond McElveen, whose car repair shop bought the car after it was towed there. “She’s in there, it’s got the number on the bag.”

Dickerson was from North Charleston and the widow of Franklin Dickerson. She died March 5, 2003, according to a newspaper obituary.

McElveen called Charleston County Coroner Rae Wooten, whose office is deciding which family member should be responsible for the remains.

“What’s unusual in this case is that urns don’t usually turn up at random,” Wooten said.

The urn was left with Dickerson’s son, who had been staying with the owner of the Buick. The coroner said the family thinks it was lost during a move.
