AUTHORITIES in Los Angeles County have buried the cremated remains of more than 1600 people in a mass ceremony.
County officials said yesterday that the ashes were from 1689 bodies that were cremated in 2007 and were unidentified or unclaimed.
Chaplains from Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center recited interfaith prayers and placed calla lilies, roses and camellias on the mass grave in a public cemetery as a a few dozen coroner's officials, county employees and bystanders watched.
The county has held a similar ceremony each year dating back at least 60 years.

in england we probably only have about a few hundred homeless people, we dont see them on the streets and even the beggers usually have some form of accomodation. the only homeless people are those who want to be homeless and i find it astonoshing that a country as rich and prosperous as america could have levels of poverty that would be unheard of in third world countries such as cuba.

The official figures[3] from the Department for Communities and Local Government for England (not including the rest of the UK) are that on average 498 people sleep rough each night, with 248 of those in London. There are a total of 84,900 households (which may contain more than one person) that are classified as homeless. Some homelessness workers have claimed that these figures are manipulated to give a lower number of people sleeping rough.[4]
