Lilbit has been in care of the state of Florida since August 2023,

I'm thinking you should have got documents stating what the procedure would be if she had passed. So I think you need to contact those same people to claim her body, if you want to have a funeral or cremation.

Can anyone please let me know if I am on the right track in support of Koz
