    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.

    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.

      @@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.
