You call the San Joaquin County Hospital at (209) 468-6000. Ask for the
pathology department, which is where the urns are being stored.
The address for San Joaquin County Hospital is:

San Joaquin County Hospital
500 W. Hospital Road
French Camp, CA 95231

I spoke with several departments, all refered me to the pathology
department.
