On the same day, I received a horrifying video showing a dead body thrown into a smoldering fire for cremation, apparently in Italy. In many places, many grieving families and friends have had to endure the pain, not just because of the death of someone they loved, but because residents or even neighbours have rejected the body for burial. Armed men threatened to burn his car with his father’s body inside if the family defied their objections. In Milan, the family of a coronavirus victim had to keep the corpse for 36 hours because ambulances refused to carry the body. What preparations can you make before death if your dead body is rejected everywhere, or your family cannot arrange even the simplest funeral service for you?
