    May their souls are at peace now. Thank you to the men who perform this services.

    This is a beautiful way for them to be honored. So many people loose touch with family or have out lived their next of kin.

    Unclaimed? I come from a very close community, so this concept of 'unclaimed' was never heard of. May their souls rest peacefully.

      It can happen. People become estranged. My estranged mother died less than a month ago. We'd had no contact in over 30 years, and she'd legally changed her name. If she hadn't mentioned my name to a friend at some point, the medical examiner never would have tracked me down.

    Beautiful. Thank you, KPIX, for the inspirational and loving story. I have know two women in my life who's parents didn't honor them even this much and kept others from doing so. For those of you who may feel sad for these unclaimed folks, please rest your souls in knowing that some families can be cruel and maybe sometimes it is best to go unclaimed and feel this unconditional love. Here's to those who love all and may all feel loved.

    • @sibhuskyguy
      @sibhuskyguy Před 16 dny

      If you really want to be outraged look at the number of unclaimed bodies nationwide each year.... up to 150,000 per year go unclaimed.

    Thank you Ruben Houston for these monthly, sacred burials honoring the unclaimed who died in this fair city. It’s good to see you-we spoke last fall after my sister died. I was touched then by your compassion and care. I’m thankful Colma Cremation was recommended to us, your staff was exceptional. Thank you for caring, for giving, for being a bright light in the darkest of times. Ever grateful🙏💪❤️✨🕊🌎🙏

    Pretty much this is where I'm headed. Sure, I've got my electrical engineering degrees and bought a home in Silicon Valley - and that's absolutely great. However, I have no family at all - no parents, no siblings, no children, no close friends, and no love. If I were to disappear tomorrow only the bill collectors would notice.

      A lot are not originally from San Francisco or California, a lot of people from across the USA that end up on hard times migrate west where winters aren’t as cold and no snow, over time they lose touch with family and friends

    • @annacoribioanna

      This city or the country? I remind you that the MAJORITY of homeless people came from OTHER STATES.
      The entire country likes to point the finger at San Francisco, when in fact, those are the homeless from outside states who ended up here because SF was and is the only hope they had due to its humanitarian programs.
      The SF homeless are the outcome for the entire country's failed states.

    Homeless drug addicted transients dying on the streets in San Francisco. Disposed in regulated state landfills would be prudent and cost efficient. The mortuary owner was paid quite well regarding this endeavor from the coffers of the city & county of San Francisco.
    ............nothing here.

    • @annacoribioanna
      @annacoribioanna Před 16 dny +1

      You are saying that children, teens, young adults or adults with a bright future, happiness and hope are to be disposed on landfills so it's cost efficient? The human beings that became 'homeless' in a culture that lacks complete values for family bonds (being alone does not mean they did something wrong, this society fails EVERYONE at some point) but homelessness is an OUTCOME, and DRUG addcition is an OUTCOME of extreme suffering, depression, suicidal etc.
      So don't say the name 'drug addicted transients" but say what they actually are "children that grew up at some point, teens that grew up at some point" that's all they are, regardless of if they died with drugs inside, with more wrinkles in their face, these people are nothing but
      people just as you or anyone else in these comments with different tolerance to the extreme hardship of being a human being in a messed up culture, in a messed up world. FInally - GOOD LUCK TO YOU.... who is going to forgive you?
      Never assume you'll end up surrounded by love and family, nobody knows how one ends up when it's over.
