County Moved Human Remains Into WBVP Radio Building

Beaver County promised a more dignified resting place after BeaverCountian.com revealed that indigent decedents’ remains were being stored shrink-wrapped on a pallet, alongside dog license paperwork. What the county considers more dignified turned out to be a room down the hall from WBVP Radio’s broadcasting booth.

BeaverCountian.com first reported the situation in an article published August 3, after a county employee came forward to say cremated remains of indigent decedents were found in a plastic tote mixed in with boxes of dog license paperwork at the Wampum mines document storage facility.
