Pick Up of Personal Property and Decedent Release of Information

Personal Property

Personal property consists of items of value found on or near the decedent. Clothing and valuables, such as jewelry, watches, and important papers, are generally returned to the family through the funeral home. Some items are not returned to the family, including medications, driver license or identification card, and any paraphernalia. 

Personal property that is in the custody of the Coroner will be released to the funeral home for your convenience. Upon request, personal property can be released to the legal next of kin instead of the funeral home. To reduce your wait time, please call ahead before coming to the office so that the personal property can be prepared for pick up.

Hours of operation:

  • Monday-Saturday, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
  • By appointment outside of the hours listed

Please contact our office at (614) 525-5290

 

Decedent Release Information

If you are with a funeral home and need the status of the release for a decedent, the morgue staff will contact you when a decedent is ready to be transferred into your care. Decedents are released Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
