John Doe

Wise Family Funeral & Cremation Services, upon request of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office, was asked to assist in the proper burial for John Doe, an unknown male who passed away in 2014. The Wise Family, as well as many others who have heard his story, feel that it was important that this gentleman receive a proper burial, since no next of kin have been located. He was found deceased alongside the train tracks in Rosemount, MN in 2014. After police and authorities exhausted all efforts to identify him, they decided to proceed with his internment. His story, in his death, has impacted many people. We urge you to reach out to those loved ones that you have not had contact with in a while. Talk to your neighbor. Connect and get to know someone that you are curious about. Their identity, personality, and story matters. Let’s not let another person pass and not be identified. A graveside service, officiated by Gordon Gathright, will be held at Prairie Oaks Memorial Eco Gardens, 8225 Argenta Trail, Inver Grove Heights on Friday, June 30th at 10:00 A.M.
