About a month ago, the LCCO&FC held a burial service for eight unclaimed cremated remains.

Today, a headstone was placed in their honor.

After years of resting on a shelf in the evidence room, they finally have a dignified and forever resting place.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated staff and to everyone who came out to the burial service to pay their respects. Your presence and compassion made this moment truly meaningful.
