The Forgotten Dead ROCtales

    • Society & Culture

Rochester has a long relationship with poverty and death.  We compare how the poor were treated at the end of their lives 150 years ago versus now. Learn about the Highland Park "bone yard", and visit a local non-profit that makes caskets for Rochester's homeless.   Thanks to Don Skillman & Memorials Co-op, Stephanie Ball & the RMSC archives, Teej Jenkins and Nicole Delgrosso for making this episode possible.
