Civil War Veterans' Remains Finally Laid to Rest After Decades

The cremated remains of nearly 30 Union soldiers, stored in Seattle for years, receive military honors in a long-overdue burial.

An organization dedicated to honoring unclaimed veterans identified 28 Union soldiers' remains through genealogical research.
The veterans were buried with military honors at Washington’s Tahoma National Cemetery and other locations.
Traditional services included musket volleys and the singing of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic.'
Some veterans participated in significant battles like Gettysburg and survived harrowing experiences.
Efforts to locate living descendants were unsuccessful, though some remains were returned to family plots.
