Peter and Judith Camiel died within weeks of each other three years ago. They were finally laid to rest earlier this month.
Camiel's estranged sister attended the memorial service Thursday at Washington Crossing National Veterans Cemetery in Upper Makefield. So did more than a dozen strangers, most of them military veterans.
Bucks County Coroner Meredith Buck was there, too, with members of her staff who had arranged the long-overdue interment after learning the couple had living relatives who had never been contacted after the Camiels' deaths.
Stories like this are why Buck made reuniting the county's unclaimed dead an immediate priority after learning about the problem shortly before taking over the office a year ago.
