Medical examiner reports 61 deaths in August; office separates county accounts, opens Memory Rock Garden

Waushara County Public Safety Committee · September 3, 2026

Summary

The medical examiner told the committee there were 61 deaths across the serviced counties in August, announced new county-level accounts for death-certificate and cremation-permit revenues, and described a Memory Rock Garden funded partly by an innovation grant.

The medical examiner reported 61 total deaths across the county group for August and outlined administrative changes to the office's budget and bookkeeping. "Total deaths for all counties were 61 for the month of August," the medical examiner said, and explained new, separate accounts have been created to track death-certificate and cremation-permit revenues for each county.

The ME described participation in a mass-casualty response in Green Lake County on Aug. 26 and said recruitment for a part-time deputy is ongoing. The office also used safety-innovation grant funds to build a "Memory Rock Garden" at the former highway shop, with landscaping materials donated by Blocks Farm. The ME invited the committee to view the completed garden and said the project is intended to help families and strengthen community connections.
