Contention Over Body Removal in Aiken County
The Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton now has an attorney over who transports deceased bodies. The county froze a 50,000 budget line for removal due to lack of a formal contract with Rucker Removal Services, which has handled removals since 1991. Council later sought bids instead of renewing a contract, with details continuing on Page 15A.
