NY'er here. Bodies were stored in u-haul trucks. Left to rot until people started smell it. Then it was reported.

Some people just want everyone to burn

The average cost for 1 body is about $5k. 5000 and they’re doing 60 a month. !$300,000 a month!

Exwife is a funeral director. Can confirm they have been very very busy.

In NYC I watched the police block off a street because the funeral home had to remove bodies from the Uhaul and it didn’t look good lol
anengineerandacat
Hmm, interesting that 60/month is considered high volume to them.

Many mom and pop funeral homes have been bought up and keep the name. One company owns most in the US now raising prices for a while already

my mental image of funeral directors are a couple of folks wearing victorian-era stuff. lol. those two seems pretty fun and wholesome bunch.

Met a couple with a funeral home family business. 13 kids, several foster kids, completely insane homemade version of Christianity.

My image of funeral directors has completely changed since I started watching 'Ask a Mortician' on YouTube

One of my good friends is an embalmer. Best guy I know. Awesome sense of humor and will do anything for the people he cares about

I imagine you have to remain light hearted and optimistic in that line of work

My friend’s dad does, with his brand new Range Rover. Not my vibe, but funereal work really pays

I love how funeral staff here wear top hats, long coats & cravats. It looks so posh, especially with horse/carriage

60 a month for cremation huh. I didn't know what I expected...but that seems a little high
SegyeJibae
the number of death (not just Covid) in New Jersey for September is at 4200 so just getting 60 body to cremate in a month is quite low
meauho
Father died in July (not Covid). Funeral home apologized for 1. taking 7 hours to pick up the body - they had 11 in the truck already &
meauho
2. It would take 2 weeks for cremation instead of normal 3 days because typical year was 3-4 a week. They were doing 20+ a day &
meauho
working 12 hour days because Covid deaths had finally"slowed down". I'm in Houston, they aren't the only crematorium
Rogermooreseyebrow
They aren't all dead
Findrek
For most parts of the country sure but she mentioned they were in New Jersey, for that high of a population he is probably a small shop
RootyTootyDrunkenShooty
I would guess it depends on how close they are to a population center, and their marketing/public awareness
DarthGoodguy
Sounds like NYC or the nearby parts of NJ so probably pretty close to the biggest one in the US
saysomethingcool
All very good points! I'm just thinking they aren't the only game in town too. But I don't know how many people die in a month anyway??
IShootBirdsAtTheAirport
Pre COVID, about 8000 people die every day in the USA, or about 160 people per state. Which puts about 16 people per major city. Roughly.
RootyTootyDrunkenShooty
2 a day, they have to be in/near a city I would imagine
brumbasse
You do know how to say dumb shit though
saysomethingcool
TheS4ndm4n
Sounds low. The local crematorium has 2h timeslots and 2 rooms. They can push 360/mo if they need to.
ojisama
I guess you get more personal cremation with these guys. The friendly touch. Your dead body doesn't feel just as a slab of meat.
Aboutasbad
I'm not sure about that. I had a friend that was in the biz and you kinda become numb to some things after a while. They were respectful.
TheS4ndm4n
My brother worked at a funeral home. He said the big challenge was to keep looking sad and serious in public.
thelonepig
I'm friendly w the local mortician and he flew to NYC to help embalm. He said it was sun up to sun down embalming. Nonstop corpses.

I remember when covid started and Italy had a big death toll & had no idea what to do with the bodies. Someone suggested asking the Germans

Well Italians and Germans always shared experience..
TargetedAdBot
That's actually one claim that holocaust deniers have. That the body count is "impossible" for body cremation time and capacity.
SignHerePlease
Then again those guys aren't usually known for their intelligence
HiddenSanity
Problem is, it's very possible if you're not concerned with treating the body with dignity or having regognizable ashes.
Idontneedrealfacts
sure if you give everyone their own oven and care about what happens to the remains.

realistic estimate for these victims who had been starved and worked to death (or near that before being sent "into the gas") was more >

Here I will fix that for you : "That's actually one DEBUNKED claim that holocaust deniers have.

Heh... Holocaust deniers are like antivax. Do you think they accept that?
