I can understand not being to find a family. I can understand being unable to afford an individual burial service. But all human beings deserve to get one.

The good people taking care of this, join hands with those who have taken care of it for thousands of years. Because it's the right thing. Recognizing that many of the silenced were given journeys that they could not prepared for or did not choose. Ask not for whom the bell tolls.
