The special section is being dug in a corner of Christchurch’s Memorial Park Cemetery as officials announced Sunday they have begun releasing bodies to families for burial, reports the Telegraph. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told reporters on Sunday that a “small number” of victims’ bodies would soon be ready for burial with all of the bodies handed over by Wednesday night. Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel said police and coronial services are working "as hard as they could" to get victims' bodies returned as soon as possible. Volunteers are offering support for the families of the terror attack victims, security around the area and ghusl – the Islamic practice of washing the dead. Armando said as soon as he received news of the terror attacks, he knew he needed to come to Christchurch.
