Commission approves $1,771.20 indigent burial payment to local funeral home
Summary
Millard County approved a $1,771.20 payment to Stephenson Funeral Home to cover an indigent burial; the county’s indigent-burial line item balance was reported at about $7,000 and the county applied a modest inflation adjustment to its standard rate.
The Millard County Commission approved a request to pay Stephenson Funeral Home $1,771.20 to cover an indigent burial for Mario Venezuela. County staff said the county uses a modest annual inflation adjustment to its usual burial rate (previously $1,700), and that the cremation charge of $1,870 in this case exceeded the original base amount.
Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to pay Stephenson Funeral Home the adjusted amount; the motion carried by voice vote. County staff reported the indigent-burial appropriation line contains roughly $7,000 and that the county typically pays two or three indigent burials per year.
No additional action was taken; staff said they would continue to process the request through normal accounts-payable and mortuary invoicing procedures.
