On the Road: Ky. man bids those with no loved ones a dignified farewell

As part of our continuing series "On the Road," Steve Hartman meets retired police captain Buddy Dumeyer, who sought out a job with the coroner's office, burying Louisville's poor and homeless. He ensures no funeral in Louisville is ever unattended.

What is wrong with the people who gave this story a "thumbs down"?? This is such a BEAUTIFUL story of caring! I pray that this program is still in operation.

God Bless you ❤

Wonderful tribute to a living soul. Also, this gentleman is teaching these fine young men to be leaders. Buddy Dumeyer: Good Guy! Great story!

i also respect the young gentlemen who act as pallbearers. we hear lots nowadays about "bad" kids, but these guys deserve all our respect.

Bless this man and these kids for what they do. Some people actually have no one at all. I know that feeling. I heard it said once that without a witness that when you die you just disappear that feels so real......

Dead people don't care about this, they are dead. If this somehow makes this guy happy, cool, but these are dead people without feelings or cares. This is one of the dumbest "On the Road" episodes to date, kind of on the same lines as Scott Pelly who also lacks a certain something.
