Re: Body Removal Guidelines for the Coroner’s Office
Dear Mr. Wozniak:
This letter shall confirm certain understandings reached in negotiations for a Memorandum of Understanding covering the period of June 8, 2014 through December 29, 2018.
The County shall contract with at least one licensed body removal service for the purpose of assisting the Coroner’s Office with the removal of dead bodies from the locations in which they are located.
Field personnel are authorized to determine when a body removal service is necessary and contact the service directly. Examples of such times include, but are not limited to:
· When the decedent is extremely obese or it is determined that the decedent is too heavy to lift without assistance.
· In cases of extreme decomposition.
· When stairs or other geographical impediments exist that may cause risk to a County employee.
If the contract removal service is used in lieu of Coroner’s Office personnel and equipment, it will be documented and the reason will be communicated to the Deputy Coroner’s immediate supervisor in a timely manner.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please indicate your acceptance and approval in the space provided below.
Dated: December 10, 2014
APPROVED AND ACCEPTED:
For the County For LEU
