Behind every mega-mansion that crowns the hills of Southern California, there is a small army of workers that keeps the place looking pristine.

For the next half hour, the women in gold dresses were tasked with opening the remaining envelopes in search of survivors and burying the rest by hand in shallow, makeshift graves in the garden outside the building.
