Great thinking by the director. Mountain View is a lovely cemetery full of famous people and beautiful headstones. Saving the bodies for the families who have already suffered trauma was a true gift. Mr. Rucker, thank you for listening and acting on the divine message you received. We are blessed in many ways and you, sir, are a true servant. Blessings.

I know where Mountain View Cemetery, bordering Pasadena and Altadena.
I've got friends that are buried there, but to the cemetary workers, they did a deed of service, and saved the bodies from the fires.
