Some fees for the Manitowoc County Coroner’s Office could be going up.
According to documents from last week’s meeting, the price for a death certificate and cremation authorization would increase by 3.4%.
That means death certificates would go up from $25 to $25.85, while the cremation authorization fee would go up from $133.50 to $138.00.
The fee increases come after the county coroner’s office found that they were lower than most other counties.
The county would get about $2,475 more in annual revenue with the increase.
The Manitowoc County Coroner’s Office annually provides 550 cremation authorizations and 280 death certificates.
