“It is my highest priority to be available to the citizens of Bates County 24 hours a day, living at the funeral home in Butler. As coroner, I pledge to respond immediately when needed, and to operate a highly professional, trusted, respectable and efficient Coroner’s office for Bates County,” said Mullinax.
