ROCKFORD (WREX) Throughout the pandemic, funeral homes across the world have been overwhelmed trying to keep up with the COVID-19 death toll.
But when one Rockford company learned funeral homes in Southern California needed help, it sprang into action with staff spending nearly a month in a coronavirus hotspot.
In 25 years, Jennifer Murasaki has seen her fair share of tragedies, but nothing like the dire situation happening right now in Southern Calfornia s funeral homes. I took care of more people in those three weeks than I may have in six months working here at home, Muraski explains. 90 percent of them were COVID-positive.
