FREMONT If police, fire and EMS are considered first responders, funeral home workers may be last responders.
Over the past year, funeral home directors have seen their share of deaths from COVID-19, having reported 108 deaths as of Wednesday in Sandusky County.
Julie Chudzinski, managing director at Herman-Karlovetz Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 900 North St., Fremont, said many of the ancillary staff has already received the vaccine due to meeting age requirements. But now Chudzinski and other directors who did not meet age requirements will finally be eligible after many in the funeral home industry have been fighting to be included among the first to be eligible for vaccinates.
