Idaho Statutes Title 31. Counties and County Law § 31-3412. Indigent burial or cremation

It shall be the duty of the board to provide for burial or cremation of any deceased indigent person.

The amount paid by the obligated county shall not in any case exceed the established or negotiated rate set by each board. If the coroner, mortician, or other responsible parties are unable to establish next of kin or have a signed waiver of intent to abandon, they may make application to the board. If an application has been made pursuant to this section, a coroner may, prior to approval of such application, authorize a cremation ten (10) days following death. The county shall be free from any liability for said burial or cremation.
