Ot ty40.19,". 46 pIso JIM STINGLEY Miami News Rportor The old live oak grove is hidden from human sight at the end of a crumbled, pot-marked asphalt lane feeding in anonymously from Southwest 79th Street, Just east of its intersection with 117th Avenue.

Clear of underbrush and neatly mown, it might be a place for young lovers to stroll, to spread a picnic in the shade and, listening to songbirds singing from near and afar, to gaze dreamily at each other and sip from the wine of promise. Except for the locked chain-link fence keeping the public out. Except for the rows of open graves waiting to be filled with the bodies of Dade County's unclaimed, and sometimes unknown, dead. They come from everywhere in Dade, these bodies. Some from nursing homes by natural causes, some from a lost point in the Everglades with their essence blown away by drug-war bullets, some the victims of long, alcoholic swims down the streets of Miami, and nearly a third from the wombs of women who refuse to claim them.

In Dade's past fiscal year, from Oct. 31, 1982, to Oct. 31, 1983, 600 were buried here. The two next highest counties in the state, Broward and Duval, didn't come within 500 of that figure. And each year now, the number grows higher, Henry Reed eased his brownandmaroon station wagon to a stop Just shy of the locked entrance, cut his engine and looked at his watch.

It was one minute before 9 a.m. Through his windshield could be seen two cloth signs on the dash. One was marked "Reed," the other "Funeral." "Well," he said, smiling, "the early bird gets the worm!" His was a cheerful saying, the kind of remark someone born in generations past makes when he arrives early to do business at a scheduled event and finds himself first In line. In Henry Reed's case, it had to do with the pair of tiny nailed-together boxes behind his seat, each (ashioned from six pieces of formica-lined particle board, each containing the unclaimed body of a prematurely born infant girl. Both boxes were hand-labeled "Infant Girl Stillborn," and each had a Latin surname.

Reed, owner of Reed-Gautier Funeral Home, would be paid $50 each by the county for the two boxes of retains. 11 luo tE1 0 Elcocc: rigo111Encoo Or, if they can find someone who cares enough to assume private burial expenses, they can reap whatever they can pursuade the person to spend. In Florida Mortuary's case, the minimum In this Instance would be $495 for a private grave, private service and cloth-covered particle board casket. Before Healy arrived, Reed had been talking about this relationship with the county. It worked out pretty fair, he'd said.

"I can find better than two out of 10 to claim the adult bodies," he'd said. Healy, in this instance, had failed. He had found friends of the deceased man, including one who let the man use his mailbox to receive any letters that might have come his way. But the friends were poor, too. The only savings of the day for Healy was that he had not been forced to drive all the way into downtown Miami and then drive back.

He lived south of the site in Cutler Ridge. The burial was on his way to work. But it wasn't that much of a savings. The delivery van had still had to make the 40-odd mile round trip. And as Healy looked at his watch, he wasn't saving that much work time, either.

If (-7, 'NI. A i .4.., 4 4 -t' I This morning's burial, like all the rest, was set for 9:30. At precisely that time, Sharli Gaensslen the tall, middle-aged blonde who has been coordinator of this program for 17 years, pulled up in her little rented Subaru and untangled herself from it. Normally she drives a more roomy late-model Cadillac, but a minor collision the previous weekend with a Key West culvert had cramped her style, not to mention her body. She joined Reed and Healy in wondering where the burial crew was.

As they stood there, the clouds began breaking and the sun began boiling the humid air. "Oh, God, it feels like summer already," she said. Gaensslen and the others waited another 15 minutes before she decided to drive out and make a call to the corrections department. Healy joined her. Reed left, too, driving to a nearby mall to grab a cup of coffee.

When they returned, Gaensslen reported that the crew would be there in 30 minutes. The talk turned to the cemetery. It was Dade County's second potter's field. The first was on Southwest 87th Avenue, just south of Miller Road. Started in late 1928, its 10 acres were to receive 5,725 bodies before it closed for lack of space in 1966.

The present cemetery is also part of a 10-acre plot, but only a little over five acres have been cleared for use. The cleared part has a capacity for 6,000. There are already 5,000 bodies buried there. Soon the county will have to clear the other acreage south to Southwest 79th Street to accommodate the bodies that never stop coming in. Dade County has more than five other future sites for such burials in the southern area, some as far as Homestead.

Gaensslen and the county have been trying to institute a cremation program for indigents, such as Los Angeles has had for the past 22 years. It would save money and space, and would be a cleaner operation, too, she says. But Florida has a state law that says you can't do that unless someone signs for the deceased. And one of the problems with that is if you're a friend and sign for your friend's cremation. that makes you responsible and liable.

And if a member of the indigent's family then comes along and doesn't like what has happened. they can sue whoever signed. So few sign. The Dade County Medical Examiner's office has the authority, Gaensslen says, but, fearing lawsuits, doesn't. Thus the extra graveyard sites.

"We will always have to dispose of bodies somewhere," Gaensslen said. "because of some people's existing fear of the hellfire-and-damnation aspect they conceive of cremation." The main reason Sharli Gaensslen's job exists is that there is no law in Florida requiring anyone to bury anyone. She said that before his morning's burial, like all the rest, was set for 9:30.

"You know," he said, staring at the four open burial trenches in the center of the grove, "I don't know how much longer I've got to live." The only thing he knew for sure was that he wouldn't be buried there. 1 "I couldn't afford Ifor that price' to come all the way out here," he said, "except that I live nearby here.

His body had been refrigerated at the mortuary for the last 22 days as Healy tried to find someone to claim the remains, to take the responsibility of providing a private burial in a regular cemetery. Had he been successful, the profit would have been greater. The rules in Dade County about this sort of thing are set by the Dade County Probate Court. Funeral homes participating on a rotating basis with the Indigent Burial Program are allowed a reasonable time to find a more profitable way to dispose of adult remains. If they fail, they must prepare the body for burial and deliver it to the county cemetery for a flat sum of $175.

Or, if they can find someone to sign for the remains, they are paid an extra $50 by the county to cremate the remains, thus saving a county grave space. Or. if they can find an estate left by the individual that is not tied up in trust. they can get as much as $1,500 from that estate, and more if the estate is substantial and they care to use their lawyers to fight for the extra money. It had been cloudy, and the clouds were darkening.

At 9:15 a white van pulled In behind Reed's vehicle, followed by another station wagon. Bob Healy, a director for Florida Mortuary, eased his rangy frame from the station wagon. Blond and 30, somewhat dashing with his red mustache, Healy joined Reed in a speculation about the weather. They wondered aloud if it was raining to the north, where the stockade was, and if that was causing the Metro-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation officer and his inmate crew, who drew the assignment of helping lower the bodies into the graves, to cancel for the day. As they discussed this, a lone particle board casket rested in the rear of the van.

Inside were the remains of a white male. 58, a denizen of the Miami streets who had died Jan. 31 Katharine Houghton and Sidney Poitier attended classic Dinner' Comedy in black and whito Plioas see BURIAL, 20 Erma Bombeck Men, lend us your clothes we'll improve them Perhaps the situation wouldn't be so provocative today. but the year was I9C7 when beautiful Katharine Houghton called up her liberal upper-middle-class parents to ask 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" $idney Poitier, that's who, and she was about to inform them that he's her tam.
