Macon-Bibb County is asking families and loved ones to come forward to claim the cremated remains of 232 people currently in the County's care.

Relatives and others with a legitimate interest in claiming the cremated remains have until November 23, 2026, to file a claim. Any remains that are not claimed by the deadline will be memorialized at Historic Rose Hill Cemetery, where they will be respectfully placed in a dedicated memorial garden.

Anyone wishing to claim cremated remains must file a written response with the Bibb County Superior Court Clerk's Office (601 Mulberry Street, Macon, GA, 31201).

The response should include the following information:

  • At the top of the document, write: "Civil Action Number 2026-CV-084941."
  • Below that, write: "Answer of [your full name]."
  • Provide your phone number, mailing address, and email address.
  • State the name of the person whose cremated remains you are seeking to claim.
  • Briefly explain your relationship or connection to that person, or otherwise describe your interest in the cremated remains.
  • Include the following statement: "I have served a copy of this Answer on Macon-Bibb County by mailing or emailing a copy to the address provided in the public notice."
  • Sign and date the document.

Along with filing the response with the Superior Court Clerk's Office, a copy must also be mailed or emailed to:

Anna M. Kersey-Weckstein

Macon, GA 31201

[email protected]

Anyone wishing to speak with the County Attorney's Office about this matter may call the office and speak to Anna at 478-751-7651.

Any cremains unclaimed after that time will be memorialized in Historic Rose Hill Cemetery by having the ashes spread in a dedicated memorial garden. A ceremony is planned for the spreading of the ashes in a reverent and respectful manner, like the one in March of 2024. The date and time for the ceremony has yet to be determined.
