 "INDIGENT BURIAL FUND NOW OPEN"

"The State of Ohio Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors is pleased to announce the restoration of its Indigent Burial and Cremation Support Program. Thanks to the passage of Amended Substitute House Bill 315 by the 135th Ohio General Assembly, and later signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine, funding was granted to the Board for its program for the remainder of state fiscal year 2025. 

Starting February 3, 2025, the OBEFD will accept applications for reimbursement from local government entities for the cost of providing burials or cremations to indigent deceased individuals. According to the OBEFD's rule, 4717-17-05 of the Ohio Administrative Code, regarding reimbursement application period, in part, an application shall be submitted no later than sixty days after the date of issuance of the burial transit permit or disposition permit. The Board will accept applications for reimbursement that include a burial transit permit or disposition permit issued on or after November 3, 2024, through the end of the fiscal year or June 30, 2025.
