NDP leader says families are still facing hardship with how unclaimed human remains are handled
Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services has 14 days to find someone eligible to claim remains, such as a spouse, a parent, or a child. After that, they’ll post a notice online for five days, before they dispose of a body. NDP leader Jim Dinn says this still doesn’t help people who can’t afford to bury or cremate their loved ones. The CBC’s Mark Quinn reports.
