Sarah M. Enz, Imperial County Public Administrator, announces the Imperial County Indigent Burial Program will host its fifth Indigent Burial Ceremony at Terrace Park Cemetery in Holtville on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. 

Through the Indigent Burial Program, decedents meeting the criteria shall be afforded a dignified burial commensurate whether they are indigent or their family is financially unable to pay for their final disposition. When the responsibility for disposition becomes the duty of the County of Imperial, the decedent’s evidence intent is to take priority. Upon approval, applicants are limited to direct cremation. The County of Imperial does not supplement funds already available to the family or decedent for funeral arrangements. 

For more information on this project or any other services offered by the Public Administrator, Public Guardian or senior services through the Area Agency on Aging, contact the Imperial County Public Administrator’s office at (442) 265-7000 or visit their website at www.aaa24.org.
