4-1-4: OBJECTIONS TO CREMATION:
In the event that a surviving spouse, sibling, parent or direct descendant of an indigent decedent objects to disposition by cremation on religious grounds before the indigent decedent is cremated, or if cremation authorization is not received from the County Coroner, the County may supply burial costs, in an amount no greater than the cost the County applies toward the cremation and shall be the established rate set by the Bingham County Commissioners pursuant to Idaho Code section 31-3412. This amount shall be paid directly to the burial service provider, shall not exceed the amount provided for cremations, and shall only be provided for immediate burial or other services performed in accordance with the State law and pursuant to local industry standards. If no objection is made pursuant to this section, or if an indigent decedent has no known surviving family, said indigent decedent shall be disposed of by cremation. (Ord. 2009-07, 7-22-2009)
