Tucked away in the fields of Saggian Kalan, a village on the outskirts of Lahore, lies a cemetery like no other. With over 1,400 graves and not a single nameplate, this is where unclaimed bodies are laid to rest.

From infants to the elderly, no one comes to visit — because no one knows who they were. Yet, thanks to the Akbar Safa Welfare Society, they’re buried with care, respect, and a record… in case someone, someday, comes looking.
