If Your loved one is taken to the New York City County Medical Examiner’s Office: What Next?
If you need to make cremation arrangements for a family member who is currently in the care of the Medical Examiner, you need to select a Cremation Provider and sign a Release Form firstly.
This gives your chosen funeral director the authority to collect your relative from the County morgue when the ME releases the body. The Coroner will liaise with the next of kin and advise when the deceased is expected to be released into the care of a funeral home for cremation. The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) protects public health.
The Medical Examiner also issues the cremation permit, which means that cremation arrangements for a deceased person at the ME’s office can be expedited.
The DFS Memorials provider serving Manhattan, NY, is familiar with the process of arranging the release and transfer of a death case into his care to conduct an affordable cremation service.
