What income does the Coroners Office return to the county?
The only income generated by the Coroner’s office is fees charged for copies of reports and for cremation releases. Generally these reports are requested by insurance companies and/or attorneys to help them to verify the circumstances of the death. Actually the fee is for the information in the report, as it is often used to help determine whether to pay an insurance claim, whether double indemnity applies or whether a lawsuit may be successful.
