How are the dead being handled?


With everything that's happening, what is happening with those who've died? There's no way to have a proper funeral it seems, so are they just being buried or cremated according to the family's wishes with little or no ceremony? Everything is so weird and the thought of people possibly not being able to say goodbye to loved ones in whatever way that may comfort them the most seems especially sad.

I think we should all just agree to not die for a while...it's really just one less complication

Let's have a pact.

I heard in the news days ago that in addition to Italy's high death count, funerals are not allowed. So I've been wondering the same thing and yeah, that makes it especially sad.

Hockey great Henri Richard died a few weeks ago and they had a private ceremony. Under normal circumstances there would have been a huge memorial service.

I guess people are just
getting used to saying farewell via Facebook.

Depends on the location. Some places have no funerals while others are limiting the number of family members attending. Small town in Italy is overwhelmed so trucks are moving the coffins to another area.

They are probably being autopsied(?) and then laid to rest according to their wishes. Pretty sure the virus dies with the host. I suppose memorials can be skyped.

In Italy the bodies are being trucked by military convoy to crematoriums. No idea about other countries.

Surprisingly, an icepick works exceptionally well. That is, if you can avoid the teeth while you get close enough to effectively utilize it.
Or, if you don't wanna get your hands dirty, you could shoot 'em in the eye with a .22. Just don't forget the silencer.
