Two brothers wanted to be buried in a small village of Mexico where they grew up. But when they died of COVID-19, their families struggled to fulfill that wish.
that, when they died, they wanted to be buried near their father’s grave in the small village of Mexico where they grew up. It was a wish that their family vowed to keep.died a few days apart in April after contracting COVID-19
“We had to sit down and try to process it as a unit,’’ said brothers' niece, Karla Morales. “At that point, what can we do other than sadly accept it? At least with cremation, we hope to return them to our grandmother when we can. It’s not ideal, but that is the reality we are facing.”The Morales family is among immigrant families across the country who have tried to repatriate the human remains of their loved ones during the coronavirus pandemic without success.
“Without that letter we cannot ship from the U.S.A.,’’ said Matthew Connors, director of operations and funeral director at Bergen Funeral Service, which has funeral homes in New Jersey, New York and Florida and ships around 70 human remains a month during normal times. Funeral directors who serve immigrant communities said they have spent hours talking to family members about the rules. Many they said have a hard time coming to terms with the idea of not being able to fulfill their loved one's wishes.
Some, he said, purchased plots in their birth country years earlier and are not able to be buried there. “People are desperate to fulfill their loved one's wishes while also working within the constraints of COVID-19,’’ he said.
