Commission approves indigent burial for Craig Purser with Myers Mortuary
Summary
The commission approved an indigent burial for Craig Purser to be handled by Myers Mortuary and discussed outreach to other local mortuaries to maintain indigent-burial capacity.
County staff presented an indigent burial request for Craig Purser and confirmed cost information in the packet. County staff said Myers Mortuary would handle the burial and that the county is one of the few that still offers this service. After brief discussion about rotation of mortuaries and the need to confirm arrangements with other local funeral homes, Commissioner Perry moved to approve the indigent burial with Myers Mortuary; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners asked staff to reach out to other local mortuaries to ensure awareness of the county's indigent-burial process following recent ownership changes at local firms. Staff said they would follow up and report back as needed.
