Crematories in some parts of the country are working 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, in some cases making employees work double shifts, in order to deal with the crush of dead bodies brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, USA Today reports.
Hospitals, morgues and funeral homes in some cities are effectively overflowing with dead bodies, as funeral homes and cemeteries race to keep up with demand. In some cases, authorities have turned to funeral homes to cremate the dead in order to ease the strain.
Even so, properly burning a dead body, particularly in a way that is respectful to the deceased and their loved ones, is a process that takes time to be done properly. And as such, crematories are finding it difficult to keep up with the demand.
