Unclaimed Remains

Resources Available for Disposition of Unclaimed Remains

Effective August 1, 2021, the Westmoreland County Office of the Coroner will no longer provide transport services for storage cases that do not fall under the jurisdiction of the coroner for investigative purposes.  If a deceased is located at your facility, all efforts shall be exhausted by your agency to locate next-of-kin for disposition instructions.

In the event there is no resolution, the Coroner's Office can be contacted at 724-830-3636 to report the death and arrange storage and disposition.  The deceased must be transported to the county morgue after reporting of all necessary information regarding the death.

It is the responsibility of your agency to arrange the transportation to the morgue.  The deceased must be tagged on the body and outside of the body bag.  The Coroner's Office will not accept personal items or any jewelry on the body.  All associated costs from the transportation is the responsibility of your agency.  The Coroner's Office must be given advanced notice of the transport in order to have personnel available to receive the decedent.
