LONDON, ONT. Funeral directors are dealing with extensive delays during the pandemic and it s causing a capacity issue at London s morgues. I just received a phone call from a family whose dad died from COVID-19 yesterday, says Erin O Neil of the O Neil Funeral Home. The mom has also tested positive for COVID-19 so she can t come out to do any arrangements at the funeral home. If mom doesn t test negative soon, they may have to wait five to 10 days to have funeral services here. It s causing a major backlog, Our refrigerated morgue holds four people, she says. Let s say I have five families that want to hold on for a funeral for 10 days where am I putting all these bodies?
