• Dale County adopts formal indigent burial policy (wtvy.com) — Families in Ozark and across Dale County now have a clear way to seek county help with burial costs when a loved one dies without enough money or family support. The new indigent burial policy formalizes applications, partners with a local crematory to keep costs under $1,000, and ensures basic interment and a grave marker are covered with taxpayer funds.
