IndigentFuneral

18 MARCH 2010 - SURPRISE, AZ: County inmate Robert Henderson straightens coffins after they've been lowered into the graves in White Tanks Cemetery on Camelback Rd. in an unincorporated part of the county near Surprise. The county spent about $2.5 million to inter indigent people in what is Maricopa County's "potters field." About 3,000 people, children and adults, are buried in the dusty field west of Phoenix.
