Cremation Fees

Coordinates cremations from the Medical Examiner’s Office

On September 18, 2007, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners adopted an ordinance that establishes a fee for providing examinations and investigations relating to cremation, dissection and burial at sea effective October 1, 2007.

On October 20, 2009, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners approved an amendment to the ordinance increasing the cremation fee from thirty-five dollars ($35.00) to forty dollars ($40.00) for each cremation, dissection, or burial-at-sea, effective November 1, 2009.

Accomplishments

Enhancing Services
  • The Division continues to expand attendance and monitoring of supported justice programs and is working on updated data reporting.
  • The Division recently engaged on formalizing the Substance Abuse Advisory Board meetings to foster a structure that allows for action planning and discussion. This will be an ongoing effort.
Sequential Intercept Mapping Efforts

Justice Coordination collaborated with community partners to hold two cross-system planning meetings to help identify local strategies to improve service connections and outcomes for justice involved youth and adults.  These efforts have resulted in ongoing workgroups that will continue to review barriers and solutions for system coordination. The workgroups are broken out into 4 key goals (below) each with a series of action items for planning.

  • System Navigation Action Plan: Establish a sustainable wraparound network that promotes access to services.
  • Housing Access Action Plan: Improve Access to housing (supportive, temporary, affordable etc.) as part of a continuum.
  • Community Awareness Action Plan: Promote community awareness and family engagement in prevention, intervention, and diversion services.
  • Reentry & Transition Action Plan: Develop formalized reentry processes to prepare recently incarcerated residents for transition into the community.
