Why did this funeral home agree to accept this many bodies?
A stiff thaws in Brooklyn.
Depends on where you are from.
Where I grew up, most definitely vans and trucks were distinct and truck was simply a short form of pickuptruck.
However, I’ve moved to rural eastern Ontario, and trucks are a genus into which both pickups and vans are placed.
new meaning to “put em on ice” in Brooklyn.
We needz mo’ threwput! We needz mo threwput!
As opposed to the usual way of storing them - in trash bags along the Belt Parkway....
I would have hoped for something a little more upscale.
Note to self: don’t use uhaul.
The boys used to use the East River and nobody complained. I blame the EPA.
Next time, spray each truck down with a jug of Febreeze.
Why would they take more than their facility holds? When we’re talking Brooklyn there could be an angle. I work with a guy who organizes monument inscriptions for scores of funeral homes in the NY metro and he said last week that some of them have 30 bodies stored in the buildings and were turning away requests.
Who wants to rent the trucks now?
Does this sort of thing happen during a typical flu season? Just asking.. as my neighbor was taken away in an ambulance an hour ago. I’m in a NJ hot zone.
What is this ‘up to’ business? Do we have partials? Can’t count that high? all squished together?
Reminds me of the story from Soviet Union...trucks ferrying prisoners around labelled “meat and produce”
Why not cremate them somewhere else? Fear of spreading virus?
Only 60?
Well Cuomo is going to have to step up his “infect all old folks homes with coronavirus” regimen. Got to keep up the number of “coronavirus deaths to tank the economy” at all costs.
death rates as a whole have only gone up slightly, so blaming it on Covid is just BS. my question is WHY are the crematoriums not operating? I suspect someone may be intentionally letting the bodies build up just for the visual affect.
THat does it. Now I have to buy more TP.
Oh, it’s meat this week. Roger.
Thanks, Big Media!
Eeeew!!
No masks/PPE being used by these guys.
A UHaul???
Never renting a UHaul, again.
We know what U Haul in those things :-(
