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.

Authorities on Wednesday announced the arrest of a 52-year-old man in the deadly October shooting of 18-year-old Jason Albert Kutt in Nockamixon State Park.
Kenneth Troy Heller, 52, of Warminster, surrendered to authorities on Dec. 30, Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said. Clearly this isn’t a perfect ending,” he said. “Perfect would mean we have Jason back. But that’s just not how real life works, that’s not how criminal justice works, so this isn’t even really a happy ending, but it is a fair and a just and a final ending.”
Kutt, of Sellersville, was sitting with his girlfriend at the edge of the lake near the Old Ridge Road access to the park waiting for the sun to set with his girlfriend around 5:15 p.m. on Oct. 24.
