How do I obtain assistance with indigent burials?
The funeral home submits a bill and death certificate to the Putnam County Board of Commissioners, Attn: Lynn Barber, County Clerk.
The County Clerk then sends a letter to the Putnam County Health Department requesting a determination of eligibility.
If approved as indigent, the Finance Department will make payment directly to the funeral home. If denied, the County Clerk will send a denial letter to the funeral home.
The maximum allowable cost is $600.00 for an indigent burial.
