It is not yet clear whether the bodies found on Friday were victims of organised crime or if the owners of the crematorium had simply abandoned the bodies.
Graphic photos of the scene show a pile of bodies wrapped in dirty sheets on the floor of the crematorium. Local media report that lime had been used over the bodies to try to disguise the smell.
"We can't say for now that there is an indication that organised crime participated in this but we can't rule it out," said Guerrero chief prosecutor Miguel Angel Godinez.
He told Radio Formula that experts were seeking to determine how long the bodies had been left inside the building.
Mr Godinez also said that some documents had been found in the property that "will allow us to conduct various lines of investigation".
He is expected to give more information at a press conference later this afternoon.
