It's great to be alive in Colma
Colma, is an absolutely unique town, known as the "City of Souls". If you are a resident of San Francisco, it is more likely than not, you'll eventually become a resident of Colma. Colma is the city's necropolis, hosting 17 cemeteries on just 2 square miles. For every living person in town there are thousands of "souls".
The list of famous "residents" of Colma is quite extensive. To just name a few: Wyatt Earp one of the more famous "resident of the Eternal Hills Cemetery.
Emperor Norton is a frequently vizited site on the Woodlawn Cemetery.
Joe DiMaggio is a very popular "resident" of the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery.

Colma, however, is not all cemeteries. It is also all businesses related to; such as flower shops and monument makers.
Bocci was one of the very first residents, since the early 1890's, the days of brick paved roads and horse carriages, along what is now historic, El Camino Real.
