Remains of nearly 30 Civil War veterans found in a funeral home’s storage are laid to rest
The simple copper and cardboard urns gathering dust on shelves only had the name of each of the 28 soldiers.

@nursefrombirth I would like to know exactly how and why someone's remains were put in storage and "forgotten" instead of being buried.
