5-11-2: CREMATION SERVICES; DESIGNATED:

The bodies of those indigent dead for whom Ada County has responsibility shall be disposed of by cremation and shall only include a decedent who was both a resident of Ada County and indigent at the time of his or her death, as determined by indigent services, pursuant to a properly filed application. As used in this chapter, "cremation services" shall not be deemed to include the interment of cremated remains in a tomb, vault, crypt, or mausoleum, nor the conducting of memorial or funeral services at Ada County expense. Provided, however, that Ada County will cover the expense of burial of cremated remains in a county owned burial plot in Dry Creek cemetery or placement in a county owned crypt when there are no known family members of the deceased or the family of the deceased declines possession of the decedent's remains.
