DISCUSS &APPROVE INDIGENT FUNERAL RATES — Lancaster stated that the Ad Hoc <br /> committee of Matt Myers, Kevin Wood, Derek Apfel, Dan Narjano, Trish Curran, Jane <br /> Richardson, Gary Quandt and herself met. She stated that it is the county's responsibility to <br /> care for indigent funerals but the funeral homes do not have to provide the services at a loss. <br /> They reviewed the Hall County guide lines with the Nebraska Department of Social Services <br /> regarding the most efficient way to address the costs. It was determined that cremation would <br /> be the best way. The service would be determined between the family and the funeral home. <br /> The transportation of the body to crematory and back would be included. The total cost would <br /> be $1,750.00. The established rate would be effective July 1, 2015. The intent would be to <br /> revisit the funeral expenses in 5 years. <br /> Quandt this has been discussed since 2001 and nothing has been done they funeral homes <br /> should not have to lose money. This is long overdue. <br /> Lanfear questioned what happens to the remains if they are not claimed. <br /> Mr. Narjano stated that if no one claims the ashes the funeral home can dispose of them as long <br /> as all avenues have been addressed. <br /> Mr. Zitterkopf questioned if the cost if just for the cremation or if it includes the cost of a service <br /> and this cost would include the cost of the service also. <br /> Lancaster stated they also discussed the resolution regarding the coroner's legal action. And it <br /> will be cremation only. If the family's religious beliefs do not allow for this they would have to <br /> provide their own. <br /> Lancaster made a motion and Richardson seconded to approve indigent burial to be cremation <br /> only at a total cost of$1,750.00 effective July 1, 2015 and to review the cost in 5 years.
