When will they be buried?

At the height of the pandemic last year, over 800 deaths were recorded in a single day in New York City. On a typical day more than 500 bodies were stored in refrigerated trucks, which were used as a long-term temporary morgue at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. The idea was that families could lay their loved ones to rest as they saw fit.

Well, 750 bodies are still there. It's likely that they will be buried on Hart Island, where for the past 100 years the city has buried those who were poor or unclaimed.
