Commissioners Adopt Indigent and Unclaimed Burial/Cremation Policy
Summary
After a staff briefing and a public hearing with no opposition, the commission adopted a county policy and application governing indigent and unclaimed burials and cremations.
The Converse County Board of County Commissioners adopted an indigent and unclaimed burial and cremation policy after a public hearing produced no public comment.
What staff said: County staff reported that earlier drafts and grammatical changes had been made and that the coroner had been consulted. An administrative staff member present said the policy and application were "about as solid as a policy as we're ever gonna get in the application as well." No morticians or other industry stakeholders reported objections at the meeting.
Action: After a brief opportunity for public comment (none offered), a motion to adopt the policy passed. Commissioners directed staff to implement the policy and proceed with the application process.
Ending: Staff will finalize administrative steps to implement the new policy as written.
