As Spain battles the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, funeral parlors remain among the few facilities still operational during the nationwide lockdown. These parlors are grappling with a surge in fatalities, struggling to provide a dignified farewell to those who have lost their lives to the virus.
The overwhelming number of deaths has led to unprecedented challenges. In some instances, there isn’t enough space to properly place coffins, highlighting the dire situation faced by morticians. Staff are overburdened, and resources are stretched thin as they endeavor to meet the growing demands while coping with their own emotional toll.
A recent video details the plight of these overworked professionals, offering insight into their daily struggles and feelings amidst the crisis. The accounts underscore not only the logistical hurdles but also the profound impact on those tasked with handling the final arrangements for the deceased.
In the past 24 hours alone, Spain has reported 510 fatalities due to COVID-19, further intensifying the strain on the nation’s funeral services. The situation serves as a stark reminder of the pandemic’s far-reaching consequences beyond immediate health concerns.
