we are standing in the morning hall of our crematorium. it usually accommodates 90 people for the funeral services. unfortunately we had to convert the hall into a storage space because we could no longer keep up with the death. of an. it's a difficult situation for us. because relatives can usually say goodbye to their loved ones here. but at the moment that's not possible because as you move leaves. no room for a funeral service not all of the coffins represent deaths from the coronavirus but many of them are marked so. these people had to end their lives without a final hug from their loved ones luke spanish cares for the bereaved he is a pastor and. family sometimes only realize how dangerous the coronavirus can be
