KOSCIUSKO COUNTY — Kosciusko County Coroner Tony Ciriello has been appointed as a coroner representative to the Vincennes University Funeral Services Education Board. The College of Health Sciences and Human Performance at Vincennes University run the School of Funeral Services.

Faculty Chair Russell Ort and Adjunct Professor Katie Schuck have established the Funeral Services Education Board to review matters and educational requirements for the betterment of the school. As coroners and funeral directors work closely with one another in the event of a death, Ort feels it is imperative to have coroner representation on this board.

Ciriello, whom serves as the Coroner for Kosciusko County and is the Director of Training and Education for the Indiana State Coroners Training Board was chosen to serve in this role for his experience not only in the coroner’s office but also in education. The board consists of several funeral directors from various parts of the State, an attorney from Indianapolis and a Forensic Pathologist from Southern Indiana.
