Description:
Indigent Cremation Services provide final disposition for those who can't afford a private funeral. The death must have occurred in Miami-Dade County. The decedent does not have to be a resident to qualify.
Only basic needs can be accommodated and are considered to be a last resort. We do not provide embalming, viewing or memorial services. Once the decedent has been transferred to a funeral home, the County will provide no further assistance.
