Attorney General Opinion on Coroner Fees

The attorney general ruled coroners may charge 10 cents per mile for travel but cannot hire taxis. If witnesses are needed, the coroner sums them and the county attorney or sheriff handles bringing witnesses to a location. If an ambulance is used to pursue a body, the county is charged and the coroner may collect his fee. A coroner cannot charge for his room or for cleaning it after an autopsy due to personal interest in contacts.
