§ 5901.27.
Before assuming the charge and expense of any burial or cremation, the veterans service
commission, pursuant to section 5901.25 of the Revised Code , shall satisfy itself, beyond a reasonable doubt, by careful inquiry, that the family
of the deceased is unable, for want of means, to defray the expenses of the burial
or cremation, or that the family may be deprived of means actually necessary for its
immediate support. Thereupon the commission shall cause the deceased to be buried or cremated and make
a report thereof to the board of county commissioners. The report shall set forth that the commission found the family of the deceased
person in indigent circumstances and unable to pay the expenses of burial or cremation. The report shall also set forth the name of the deceased, the rank and command to
which the deceased belonged if a veteran, the date of death, the place of burial or
disposition made of the person's cremated remains, the occupation while living, and
an accurate itemized statement of the expenses incurred by reason of the burial or
cremation.
