In an update, the city’s Public Information Office (PIO) said this was “to address the needs of the citizens for a place to store the bodies of their deceased loved ones while waiting for cremation.” “This is done by the Mandaue City government in order to lessen the anguish and stress of Mandaue residents in looking for places to store the bodies of their dearly departed when they should be mourning for their dead,” the City Public Information Office (PIO) posted on its page on Monday, July 6, 2020.

Cortes said the free storage services of the mortuary freezer would spare the grieving families of the P8,000 to P10,000 storage fees per day collected by private facilities while the bodies await to be cremated.
