Garland County coroner, Stuart Smedley, presented a request for a morgue facility in Garland County. Currently, the coroner’s office uses local funeral homes for transportation, examination facilities as well as refrigeration facilities. Local funeral homes no longer want to participate in their prior agreements.
The funeral homes were providing these services free of charge to the County but no longer want to participate and would like the program ended as soon as possible. No local funeral home is interested in and exclusive contract for services. The funeral homes site lack of space and the need for County access to their facilities after working hours.
Smedley has found an area in the lower level of the district court building that would serve as a morgue. The area is unfinished and would ideally house areas for exams, refrigeration and office space. Smedley is also looking for a van to transport the deceased. He has found appropriate refrigeration equipment for $10,000.
The public health committee will meet with Smedley to discuss his proposal.
