A new building for the Alamosa County Coroner’s Office has been dedicated to serve the residents of Alamosa County. The facility will support the work of the coroner and deputy coroners, who investigate deaths and assist families during difficult times.
The responsibilities of the coroner’s office include determining cause and manner of death, identifying deceased individuals, issuing death certificates, and notifying families. According to a statement from the dedication ceremony: “The statutory responsibilities of the coroner’s office are simple; establish a cause and manner of death, identify the deceased, issue a death certificate and notify the family. But the human side is so much more. This building is a testament to the coroner and deputies who are dedicated to honoring the dead with dignity and respect, ensuring every life is remembered and every story is heard. Thank you for your work.”
The new facility aims to provide an improved environment for staff as they carry out their duties in service to both public health and grieving families.
