VICTIMS OF COVID-19 IN MOSCOW WILL BE BURRIED IN THE TRANSPARENT LID COFFINS

The representative of the Ritual State Budgetary Institution Artem Yekimov said that from now on, the funerals of those who died from the coronavirus would be held with the use of transparent lid coffins. Previously, such people were buried in closed coffins.

As it was reported by TASS, the funeral agency introduced a new service to make the funerals more similar to the traditional ones. Due to the sanitary and epidemiological situation, contact with the coronavirus victims is prohibited - glass lids will help the relatives to take part in a farewell ceremony.

Glass lids will be completely airtight, they are made of plexiglas.

It is noted that it is necessary to maintain social distance and not forget about masks and gloves in the cemeteries and farewell halls of Moscow. It should be noted that funeral agencies offer the "online farewell" service - they can remotely arrange the burial, lay floral tributes, etc.
