When a loved one dies, we want to celebrate their life. But this pandemic has impacted even how we mourn. And as New York City becomes the US's epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, "deathcare" workers are struggling to keep up.The funeral directors, the funeral homes, the embalmers, everyone is around these bodies, they are putting themselves at risk.My name is Dave Mosher, and I'm a senior correspondent at Business Insider.
To remove a decedent from a New York City morgue, whether that body is carrying COVID-19 or not, a family member calls Pat for funeral arrangements. Once a death certificate is finalized, Pat and his team move the body from the morgue to its final resting place.It was really incredible to see these people at work, putting themselves at risk during a pandemic to gather the bodies of loved ones, reunite them with their families, so that those families can mourn the loss of that person.
