She was the first to be laid to rest in the burying-ground on Cape Sunrise . Services were conducted on the Doraine by the Reverend Mr. Mackenzie , assisted by Father Francisco . All work was suspended on the morning of the funeral . Shortly before noon the entire company walked , in a long , straggling procession , from the landing to the spot three miles distant where the lonely grave awaited its occupant . Careni-Amori sang `` Lead , Kindly Light '' and `` Nearer , my God , to Thee , '' at the graveside . There were tears in a thousand eyes , and every voice was husky .
