30 strangers attend woman's funeral
ORANGETOWN, N.Y. -- About 30 people paid their respects to a woman they never met after responding to a call for attendees for a funeral at which no one was expected to show up. The strangers served as Francine Stein's pallbearers and helped bury her during the service Wednesday at a cemetery in Orangetown. Rabbi Elchanan Weinbach officiated the service and said there was no eulogy because he didn't know anything about the woman. The call for volunteers came on Facebook from Weinbach's daughter. -- Associated Press
