57 unclaimed remains interred in East Wenatchee

The briefing

Fifty-seven unclaimed cremated remains were laid to rest Wednesday in a community crypt at Evergreen Memorial Park & Mausoleum in East Wenatchee. The Chelan County Coroner's office has cared for these individuals—some dating back to 1993—who were estranged, unhoused, or without next-of-kin. About 40 people attended a public ceremony to honor the decedents with readings, scripture, and song.
