A resolution that asks Roane County to “appropriate money to pay for pauper burials/cremations” is on the agenda for the commission’s meeting today – Monday.
County Executive Ron Woody said the county has been paying Davis Funeral Home in Harriman to cremate “indigents” at the request of Medical Examiner William Bennett.
“Various commissioners have asked why have we paid one funeral home and the other ones may have had indigents, too, and they’ve not been given that same opportunity,” Woody said.
