Its good to do nice things for people, even dead ones.
The Indianpolis Star-News has this article about a homeless man that died three months ago. Instead of having a "paupers burial" a local mortuary type of company, Indiana Funeral Care decided it would step in to help identify and give the man a proper burial.
The one thing I can never understand is how people end up in this situation. I live in Chicago and see homeless people every day. In Indianapolis I had volunteered at soup kitchens. I just don't understand how one ends up on the streets, with no family, no friends, where noone even knows your last name. Its so sad. I really just don't know what its like to walk a mile in their shoes.
