Health authorities are calling on relatives of several deceased persons to claim their loved ones’ remains by Friday, 21 November 2025, or face government-arranged burials in a public cemetery.
In a statement, the Office of the Chief Health Inspector said the unclaimed bodies are currently being held at Barnes Funeral Home and Straffie’s Funeral Home.
Families are advised to contact the funeral homes immediately to arrange private burials. Officials warned that once public interments take place, no legal claims can be made afterwards.
At Barnes Funeral Home, the remains of Isaac Roacher remain unclaimed. Relatives are asked to contact Jessica Barnes at 462-1037.
Straffie’s Funeral Home is holding the bodies of Purcell Hamilton (died 2 February 2025), Sylvester Hunte (29 April 2025), and Richard Farara (29 August 2025). Families should contact Leigh Ferrance at 462-0575 or 462-2954.
Authorities stressed that the deadline will be strictly enforced to ensure dignified handling of the deceased.

Maybe is that they want,non money dey.
Jesus take the wheel
Time to go, collect and bury Harold Lovell
I strongly believe these families know what they are doing, or maybe even unaware of the fact that their family is dead. I hope the families do reach out. Don’t leave us hanging Antigua.news
Wow, is it that people just don’t care?
If money was involved Im sure they would have claimed them by now
Knowing someone has passed yet not stepping forward to claim them says a lot about circumstances and priorities, but it doesn’t lessen the sadness of the situation.
This one hit me hard. No one should leave this world without family by their side. I really hope someone recognizes the names and reaches out.
