Can't speak for the Denver area (was only in the state once & that was over 50 years ago), but most prisions have a burial area near the prison for bodies rejected by the prisioner's family. I would contact the state Bureau of Corrections to get the info. They should have records of what became of the bodies.

I am looking for information on my Blacksheep, I wish to know if anybody can tell me how I would go about finding a burial place for someone that spent his life in Prison? When they die does the family get the body?What if that family rejects it ,where does it go ,does the State bury them ? If so where? > Mistyblue > > > ==== BlackSheep Mailing List ==== > --- > The contents of the Blacksheep-L@rootsweb.com archives are copyrighted by each individual submitter. > > The Blacksheep Message boards are at: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.blac ksheep > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 --- Shuler Michael --- grinch42@mindspring.com --- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet.
