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.
