4-1-2: DESIGNATION OF CREMATION SERVICES:
The bodies of those indigent dead for whom Bingham County has responsibility shall be disposed of by cremation and shall include a decedent who was both a resident of Bingham 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 Bingham County expense. Provided, however, that Bingham County will cover the expense of burial of cremated remains in a County owned burial plot 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.
