Four out of the five pallbearers are in view carrying the casket down the church stairs to the sidewalk. They are all dressed in white dresses and three of them are wearing veils. From the left are: Margaret Mercado (photo donor's cousin), unidentified girl in back of the casket, Evangelina Rivera (photo donor's sister) and Hortencia Mercado (photo donor's cousin).
