More families of coronavirus victims are choosing cremation over burial, for fear of catching the virus from the dead.
The number of corpses arriving at crematoria in the north of Italy has doubled since the coronavirus outbreak began and the plants there are overwhelmed, even those that work seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
Altair is Italy’s leading company in crematoria, with 17 plants, mainly in the north of Italy.
