FYI,
Funeral was conducted at one time for all six; the caskets were laid
out at the Hmong Metro Funeral Home in Maplewood and there were lots
of people line up to view the bodies...and all six were buried in one
dug grave site with their individual vault and caskets...all were
donated by a generous monument company...I was told...
That's why it is not just a typical grave site, but a historic one for
all and not just us Hmong...
