body
BACKGROUND
On September 8, 2017, pursuant to Government Code Section 31000, the Napa County Sheriff-Coroner entered into Agreement No. 180110B with Legacy Removal Services, LLC to provide transportation services for deceased persons (decedent) within the County. Legacy Removal Services, LLC provides responsive service to the Sheriff-Coroner twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, year-round, and responds to more than three hundred service requests annually on average.
