5-11-5: PAYMENT OF EXPENDITURES:

Upon approval of a properly filed application and upon presentation of a death certificate, Ada County indigent services will authorize a maximum expenditure as set by resolution for cremation, or if there is an objection to cremation from a family member entitled to priority on religious grounds, this same maximum will be applied toward burial expenses. Any available resources of the decedent must be used for cremation or burial costs prior to authorizing expenditure of county funds. (Ord. 599, 11-8-2005)
