For Coroners
I have worked with coroners in the past who are not sure what to do with unclaimed remains. It is my hope that every person is treated with dignity in life and in death. I am is in the process of equipping coroner’s offices with education so they know how to handle their unclaimed remains. Below you’ll find some helpful resources.
If you have any other specific questions or want to help, I am available.
