Monday, June 19, 2017Walker said, but the indigent burials cost about $2,000, including $1,000 for preparation of remains, coffin and service, $750 for the cemetery and around $250 for a headstone.Most of the burials for the indigent in recent decades have been done through the Center Township trustee's office. When someone dies without insurance or funds to cover burial costs and their family members can't or won't pay for burial, the trustee's office works with family members to provide a basic service and burial.In the past year, the indigent burial service changed from one held at a local mortuary to graveside services as a cost-saving measure."Meeks and Parson (Mortuary) are very good to us," Walker said. "They treat them just like they would treat you and I, with a coffin and sign-in book and service." Remains are often, but not always, cremated.The trustee's office approves or denies burial assistance requests based on how much money is available from the deceased person's family, including the value of vehicles."I've never asked anybody to sell their TV or anything," Walker said. "If I get down and out and had to come to this office to ask for assistance, that's what we're here for. But I shouldn't have a boat parked in my yard (and get a taxpayer-funded burial)."The trustee's office performed 32 indigent burials in 2016 at a cost of about $52,000. As of mid-April, had performed 11 so far in 2017.Searching for survivorsThe Star Press tried to contact family members of people buried through the trustee's office, but Walker said families she asked about being interviewed didn't want to talk about the emotional and potentially embarrassing circumstance of relying on public money to bury their loved ones.Out of all the families that seek public assistance for burials, there are those who won't cooperate with authorities.Hahn recounts a recent case in which the search for survivors extended into another country."We had one man with one living sister," the coroner said. "We tracked her down in Canada. The Mounties went to her house. She said, 'I haven't seen my brother in 16 years, we haven't talked. I don't want anything to do with this.'"Hahn said he suspected that other surviving family members don't cooperate because they're still collecting Social Security benefits for the deceased. A signed death certificate would likely end those benefits.The coroner's office and local mortuaries take out ads in and are interviewed for articles in The Star Press in efforts to find surviving kin.

Saturday, June 10, 2017Although his life was short, he touched many lives. Seth’s happiness was contagious; he was always joking and was the “life of the party," the obituary reads. Court documents say Collier was left in the road after being hit by a vehicle driven by a former investigator for the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office on North Salina Street. It happened around 1:30 a.m. early Tuesday morning. Nearby performers were among the first to render aid to Collier before he was rushed to the hospital. Two days after the accident, Collier was taken off life support and died from his injuries. As a result of the crash, former investigator and part time police officer Peter Rauch was arrested and taken into custody. He was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident and posted bail of $50,000. Rauch was fired from both positions with the the District Attonrey's Office and with the Liverpool Police Department. The investigation will remain ongoing as police continue to gather more evidence on the incident. For more information regarding the upcoming funeral for Collier click here. In addition, in lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to Seth's GoFundMePage.
