Each body was cremated and the remains have been in the custody of the Doña Ana County Health and Human Services Department for at least two years, as required by state law. Doña Ana County pays for the cremation and burial of the remains. They are interred at St. Joseph Cemetery.

The unclaimed remains of military veterans are buried each year at Santa Fe National Cemetery, with full military honors.

Cremains may be claimed by family or friends, by calling Stephanie Barrera at 575-525-5866.
