§ 145.02. Payment of expenses.

Upon the submission of such statement under oath to the director of public safety, the funeral director shall be paid for the burial or cremation of such person based on the contract that has been established for the burial or cremation of indigent persons within the city of Columbus. If any non-contractual party provides the same services, the statement required by section 145.01 must be submitted to the director and the director shall determine whether the expenses are reasonable and, if so determined, shall pay to such funeral director for the burial or cremation of such person an amount not to exceed the current contracted rate. This maximum amount shall include the cemetery charges and the crematory charges, less the amount of any such things of value which may be applied to such funeral expense as shown by the required statement under oath.
