In 1914, a San Francisco ordinance required that all remains be removed from the city. The remains were transferred to Greenlawn Cemetery in Colma. However, only if relatives paid for removal were the bodies reburied and their headstones reset. In most cases the bodies were put into mass graves and the tombstones used as material for a breakwater in the bay.
