Bishop Robert Deeley makes one last blessing for the 30 individual unclaimed cremated remains before the All Souls Remembrance Crypt was closed after the All Souls Day service at St. Peter’s Cemetery in Lewiston on Monday. The 30 individuals ranged in age from 2 months to 105 years and their remains are kept in the crypt because they are unclaimed, Jim Boulet, family service adviser for the cemetery, said. Funeral directors from Central and Southern Maine are contacted throughout the year to see if they have any unclaimed remains. The bishop blessed the crypt because it was the first one of its kind at St. Peter’s. There will be more services if more unclaimed remains are collected by funeral directors, Boulet said. About 25 people attended the service. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
