Interesting that tripadvisor.com uses a still image of whatever/whenever this event happened. Since there are reviews dating back to 2012 for the site, I doubt they updated the image. Conclusion: this is a video of the standard burial of unclaimed bodies at Hart Island, that has been going on for more than a century. It is estimated that ~800,000 people are buried there.
