"Editor’s note:
This is the second in a three-part series on a little-known Ohio law about townships and cities’ responsibility to pay for the burial of those who are indigent (we had to break it into a third part due to space limitations in this edition). Check out the third part in our next edition on April 30."
Excerpt:
"As The NEWS reported last week, one can scan the websites for dozens of Ohio’s cities, townships and villages and not find a single reference to their responsibility to pay for these burials, which, granted, are typically done at minimal costs, meaning the indigent person is typically cremated and only given a simple marker in a graveyard of the localities’ choice."
