On Friday, November 1, 2024, the Peoria County Coroner’s Office will conduct a communal burial for 58 unclaimed cremated individuals. Relatives and acquaintances have until 4 PM on October 31st to claim the remains. Located at 506 E. Seneca Place, the Coroner’s Office is available for claims, assisting those who might discover unclaimed remains under unusual circumstances. A solemn service, by Coroner Harwood and Paster Chad Manbeck, is scheduled for those unclaimed, beginning with a procession at 8:50 AM from the Coroner’s Office to Springdale Cemetery & Mausoleum, where the interment will occur. This service is made possible through community support, including donations from local organizations. For inquiries, contact the Coroner’s Office at 309-669-2000.
None of the decedents were veterans, as the Peoria County Veterans Assistance Commission helps claim former military personnel.
The remains will be interred in a vault donated by Peoria Wilbert, flowers are provided by the District 8 Illinois Funeral Directors Association (IFDA), and the Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network will provide coffee and donuts for attendees.
