potter's field

Could we really have lived through a situation in which, in that city alone, hospitals had to move bodies by forklift into makeshift truck morgues, in which bodies were stored in funeral home viewing rooms and chapels, in which four crematoria worked around the clock and bodies were buried in the same potter's field that has taken in the victims of past yellow fever, tuberculosis, HIV and influenza victims?

Army Corps of Engineers, before dredging and straightening the river, disinterred this Potter’s Field.

Soon after, they were buried in unmarked graves in a potter's field.

The family lived down the street from the potter’s field where the boy was first buried, and placed flowers there on holidays.

“We played softball next to the potter’s field where he was buried and we would visit him on the holidays, with flowers and prayers,” she said.
