Covid-19 has altered life as well as death. Funerals are forbidden, relatives and friends cannot say goodbye to their loved ones, so funeral homes try (whenever it is possible) to make their last wish come true: bring the coffin by the relatives’ house before going to the cemetery. Fanpage.it has spent a day with the necrophores from the company “Centro del Funerale” from Milan, which has been working all over Italy since 1955 and that had to face many funerals during the last weeks, due to coronavirus. “During the month of March, the death rate as increased of almost the 80%”, told us the owner, Gheri Merlonghi, sitting in the depository of the company which stores tens of coffins ready to be used. “We saw mortuaries with more than 50 corpses, with bodies on the floor, kept in black bags.
