Officers responded and tried to stop the SUV, but the driver didn't yield and they started chasing the vehicle before it crashed on the 110 Freeway near the Vermont Square neighborhood.
Aerial video from Sky5 showed a damaged Lincoln Navigator with the same license plate as the one stolen from outside a church in East Pasadena the night before.
A casket was visible in the back of the vehicle, video showed.
"The deceased individual's remains— they were undisturbed besides, perhaps, some impact from the traffic collision," Grubb said.
The black Lincoln Navigator was carrying a casket with a body inside when it was taken from Saint Anthony Greek Orthodox Church at 778 S. Rosemead Blvd. around 8 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Sheriff's Department.
"It's unfortunate that the family is put through further trauma in having to deal with this situation unfolding as it has," Grubb said.
There were initially two bodies in the vehicle when it arrived at the church, but the driver left the keys in the ignition while taking one inside. The driver came back out to get the other body and discovered that the Navigator was gone, officials said.

I see a made-for-TV movie - To Die & be Dead in L.A.
Tragic. One dead.
Weeknight with Bernie.
The dead guy couldn’t recall a more exciting time. Now he’s pumped to vote Democratic.
“Speed...get me to the graveyard on time”
Crash ends with one fatality and even though the driver was drunk, high on crack and recklessly roaring through city streets at 100mph, he can’t be charged.
Going out with a bang!
Some people really know how to celebrate a funeral....
Just not these people.
That’ll work !
How about - The Quick & the Stiff?

Stiffie Does L.A.
Gone in Sixty Seconds~!
In Gettysburg you ride to see the ghosts, in L.A. the ghost rides with you!
There’s at least one dead body in the vehicle after that accident. Though this is a sad story for the family involved, I can’t resist the opportunity for a bit of gallows humor: it’d actually be pretty funny if some coroner ended up doing an autopsy and got all in a snit because the time of death was way before the accident.
“Weeknight with Bernie.”
LOL
