State Interior Minister Roberto Lopez condemned the decision to move the bodies from place to place, and said whoever was responsible in the state government would be punished "severely."
"This shows the insensitivity of some officials to such a sensitive issue, especially for the families of these unclaimed bodies," he said in a press conference.
In Mexico, the criminal investigation code bars authorities from cremating bodies linked to violent crimes.
