Mortician Ronald Jones (right) is thanked by Shirley Savage (left) and Keysha Savage (center obscured) on Thursday, May 31, 2012, after he offered to give their deceased family member a memorial service with viewing at no charge. They were only able to pay for cremation. Jones often does pro bono work for people who cannot otherwise afford it. For me, it's not about making money, he says. If you take care of the people first, the money will come. Photo by Christian Gooden, cgooden@post-dispatch.com
