On July 12, 2025, at 10 a.m., the Kitsap County Medical Examiner's Office will hold a public burial ceremony for eight residents who were considered "indigent" at the time of their passing.
Through no fault of their own, these citizens left the world without family or funds for a final resting place. We at the Kitsap County Medical Examiner's Office feel very strongly that these individuals deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Through a generous donation several years ago, our County was gifted four cemetery plots at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Bremerton.
The County plots are on the south side of the cemetery in the upper lots, Heather section, plots 7, 8, 9, and 10. These plots provide a beautiful setting for these individuals to be interred.
The names of those being interred include:
- Roger Boyd
- Mark Mayberry
- Harley Robertson
- Renee Lambert
- Michael Taylor
- Marshal Taylor
- Barbara Pederson
- Unknown (unmarked urn found)
Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue chaplains will officiate a short ceremony. We encourage anyone who would like to attend to join us. This is an opportunity to show our respect to those who have departed and let them know that they were not alone and will not be forgotten.
