The funeral home started searching for Carmela Polimeni's family after she died last month, even putting an ad in a newspaper in hopes someone might know her.
After getting no response, the community stepped in and donated funds for a gravesite, headstone, and funeral.
"Flowers have come in for her and we have pieces here. This has been a great outpour. It's even changed the way we see so much going on in our world today. It's just been a blessing." said the funeral director.
Eternity Funeral Services will hold a mass on Thursday.
What is known is that Polimeni lived for decades at The Glenwood retirement housing in Leonia. She had been treated a few times at a Care One rehabilitation facility in Cresskill where she passed away.
American authorities even tried reaching out to Italy, where she may have had a nephew or a niece.
While no one came forward, there was an outpouring number of phone calls from strangers, asking to help, saying they would attend if there were services.
