The second funeral of two postal workers killed by anthrax took place on Saturday.
A day after his colleague Thomas Morris Junior was buried, a funeral was held for Joseph Curseen.
Both men died after contracting inhalation anthrax at work.
The two men worked at Washington D.C.'s central postal processing facility called Brentwood.
Officials plan to test as many as four-thousand sites in the Washington D.C. area for anthrax.
The sites, which could include large apartment buildings, received mail from the facility.
The U.S. Postal Service has ordered environmental tests at 30 mail processing and distribution centers across the country.
For Curseen and his co-worker it was too late. Officials still do not know who is behind the anthrax attacks.
