Mandating "Dignified" Burials for Monroe County's Poor and Homeless

Burial Grounds for Monroe County's Poor and Homeless at Oatka Cemetery

The Monroe County Democratic Caucus is proposing what it calls a "dignified Indigent Burial Policy."

WXXI's LeShea Agnew reports the legislation would mandate stricter burial standards for the county's poor and homeless.

The County Legislature's Republican Majority rejected the proposals, refusing to assign them to a committee for consideration.
