On this episode of Our American Stories, at a funeral home in Iowa, a number of urns had gone unclaimed for years, with no clear path back to family. Lanae Strovers was asked to try to track someone down, but many of the names led nowhere or to people who could not take them.

Instead of leaving them there, she arranged the burials herself and made sure each person was treated with care.

Here’s Lanae with her story.
