Funeral directors are being squeezed on one side by hospitals trying to offload bodies, and on the other by the fact that cemeteries and crematoriums are booked solid.

He is also hoping the Environmental Protection Agency will lift regulations that limit the hours crematoriums can operate to ease some of the backlog."Maybe if they send me refrigeration, or guide me in a way that I could set up a refrigerated trailer that I could keep, and I could supervise.

Through the first 15 days of March, the family's four funeral homes held 15 services. In the second half of the month, they had 40. The surge in deaths is coming at a time when there are tight restrictions on gatherings, making saying goodbye a lonely process.
