Gravesites are filling up fast across one of Americaâs largest cemeteries.
âWeâve seen an increase since the beginning of the coronavirus, but more so during this latest surge,â said Antoinette Lou, a spokesperson for Rose Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary, a 14,000-acre site in Southern California.
She says calls about services have increased 200% in the last month.
âWeâve been around for over 100 years and have not seen anything of this size,â Lou said. âA lot of the cases coming in, hospitals are overwhelmed.â
