Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Drive-through funerals are being held in the
epicenter of Spain's coronavirus pandemic
Madrid is the capital of Spain and is also
the epicenter of COVID-19, accounting for 40% of the nation’s coronavirus
deaths. As so many more people are dying every day, funeral and burying resources,
such as hearses, priests, and gravediggers, are all stretched to the limit. But
the most difficult ones are those who are left by the dead. Because of the
strict restrictions by the government, only as many as five mourners are
allowed to pay their final respect. But they are not allowed to see or touch
their loved one or even the casket. In fact, the quick service is held outside the
church building while the casket is still inside the hearse. You don’t want to
send your loved one like this drive-through funeral.
In Spain alone, over 13,000 people have died
only in a few weeks, the second most deaths after Italy in Europe. A very difficult time, indeed.
Read the article and watch the video and
learn what’s it’s like to send your loved one in such an unusual way.
