The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) has awarded a blanket purchase order (Contract C6A696) for burial and cremation services, specifically for individuals served at the North East Florida State Hospital (NEFSH).

The per-unit pricing includes cremation at $735.00, a certified death certificate at $10.00, and cremation authorization at $50.00, totaling $785.00 per service.

The contract authorizes three primary approvers from the Department of Children and Families: Diana Nielsen, Tracy Padgett Williams, and Richard Castellani, with additional approval from the facility chaplain. This purchase order supersedes a previous contract (C46109) and is designed to provide burial and cremation services on an as-needed, called-for basis for the specified institutional population. The contract represents a targeted procurement of end-of-life service support for individuals under the care of the Florida Department of Children and Families.
