Body-Storage Fee Raised by County
From a Times staff writer
The county Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to raise the fees for storing bodies at the coroner’s office.
Relatives will now have to pay the office $236 -- up from $119 -- for removing the body from the place of death and keeping it until its release to the person responsible for interment. The fee is waived if the next-of-kin is indigent, the deceased was under 14 or the death was a crime.
