MACON, GA - Macon-Bibb County is asking families and loved ones to claim the cremated remains of 232 people currently in the county's care. Claims must be filed by Nov. 23, 2026, with a written response to the Bibb County Superior Court Clerk's Office, 601 Mulberry Street, including contact information, the name of the deceased and the claimant's relationship, the county says. The full list of names is posted on maconbibb.us.

Remains not claimed by the deadline will be memorialized at Historic Rose Hill Cemetery, where the ashes will be spread in a dedicated memorial garden during a ceremony, like one held in March 2024. Questions can go to the Macon-Bibb County Attorney's Office.
