Last year the New York Times ran an article on New Yorks Potters cemetery called Hart Island. Die without someone to make arrangements and the city efficiently buries you in this indigent cemetery.

The Times tracked down acquaintances and relatives of these people. They never knew these people had died. The city doent try too hard to find such relatives.
