After no family members came forward, a funeral home in Florida stepped in to help a veteran who passed away
Edward K. Pearson of Naples died on August 31 and he had no immediate family members, the obituary said. He was 80 years old.When a social worker approached Legacy Options Funeral and Cremation Services, the owners said they knew they had to do something."One of our ways of giving back to the community of Naples is we offer free funeral services to any indigent or homeless veterans," funeral director Michael Hoyt told CNN on Monday.
The obituary ran on Sunday and already more than 2,000 people commented on their website, the funeral home said. "We put a small notice in the Naples Daily News stating that he had passed away and there was no family that we knew of," Hoyt said."It was really enlightening to see social media react in such a positive way.'As a family-run business, Hoyt said"seeing that response has been humbling.
