May 7 2020 -Mortician Picks Up Bodie from Makeshift Morgue at NYC Hospital
This is a short clip from an upcoming mini-documentary - The Last Responder
April - May 2020 - QUEENS, New York: Funeral directors at the Gerard J. Neufeld Funeral Home in Elmhurst are swamped. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the workload for this small, family owned funeral home, operated by Joe Neufeld, has increased significantly, "The phone just went crazy."
25 bodies were being prepared to be moved to a crematorium in Vermont with a total of 80 bodies going out for cremation this week.
Neufeld says that because there are only 2 crematories in Queens they started backing up very quickly, he said he spoke to one today and their next available date was May 23.
The four-man team decided that if they were going to continue operating during the crisis, they would have to end visitation and serve only direct-burial or cremation cases only, this means that some family members who weren't able to see their loved ones after they entered the hospital, are also unable to identify their bodies before cremation, and they rely only on copies of tags and wristbands placed on the patients when admitted to hospital and at their time of death,
As night fell, Joe and another funeral director, Omar Rodriguez, assisted in moving each of the bodies into the truck parked outside that will be taking them to Vermont Crematorium.
Rodriguez says he carries two stretchers in his personal car in order to pick up bodies on his way to work emphasizing that they have no time to waste.

Now that is what you call a Smooth operator.

This are the real heroes

[@HexIsme]

Is it weird that I couldn't stop thinking about how insanely convenient those stretchers are?

[@jdearing46]

I saw no make shift morgue looked like a pick up on a busy day for deliveries. He said they need 50 bodies to put on a truck to Syracuse? 🤔

[@JaLl-gt2be]

I ask that when my body gets picked up, just kick me all the way to the car, like my life. F it. I'M OUT! ✌️

[@desmonddaly6538]

The very same FedEx truck that probably is now delivering Amazon packages yuck

If the hospital morgue is full that's what they do

why not call a UBER?

[@wadestarkweather1134]

No cups to secure the gurneys? What a way to let the gurneys roll around the van. Im sure the cremation firm is a real low class joint, a turn and burn.

[@raypropps9232]

The weight of the body hold it down and they don’t move around. I own and operate a Mortuary Transport Company. I have have two van’s each one has two cots in them.

[@thatzombieplace]

Lmao if I was walking by that it would fuck up my day

[@josephbennett3482]

No different from walking past a funeral home when they are taking a body in or out.

[@fwaurorakev]

I deliver to hospitals over night in trucks and I hate seeing these vans when I arrive

[@justinp8234]

Why is there a ups truck?

[@ryancrowley4243]

What can brown do for you?

[@josephbennett3482]

Well just like any other business hospitals get deliveries too , hospitals use UPS to ship products such as new pharmaceuticals , medical supplies , cleaning and maintenance stuff.

Is there certain cots used for when the ground is snow/ice?

[@ChiTown-AJ]

Nope

Bro...no partition in that van? 😳

🤔 you can’t really catch anything from a body in a pouch wrapped in an external cover. So, no!

[@seansavage2472]

@@OhioSchoolBuses what you don't know is I do this for a living as well. You don't show up to remove someone dressed like that. It's suit and tie. A collared shirt at the very least. That's just for starters. You also need to cover the body better than that. The cot cover is literally just thrown on top of this person. And third, he didn't even strap these people onto the cot. He takes one turn too sharp, they're sliding off. So think before YOU speak there, pal.
