|  The Office of Chief Medical Examiner takes custody of all remains which fall under our legal mandate, including all unclaimed or unidentified remains throughout the five boroughs of the City of New York. We ensure that all remains are handled with dignity and respect; unidentified and unclaimed remains are interred in City Cemetery within a reasonable period of time. If remains are subsequently identified, or if a family wishes to claim a loved one, remains can be disinterred for private burial. |  |
