In this video, funeral workers demonstrate in Rome, Italy, over the disruption of cemetery services during the pandemic and the local crematorium not coping with the number of COVID-19 deaths.

A poster says: "Sorry, we can't bury your loved ones".

Cemeteries in Rome are overwhelmed with coffins. It has been reported that there are currently 2,000 bodies awaiting cremation.

Protesters blame local and regional authorities for the mismanagement of the pandemic.

This footage was filmed and produced 16 April 2021.

The video shows the demonstration of funeral home employees in Rome.
The reason for the protest is that the crematorium does not cope with the work and the cemeteries are also full. The workers do not know where to go with the bodies of the dead. Another reason is the disruption of cemetery services during the pandemic.

Video location: Piazza della Bocca della Verità, Roma RM, Italy.
