Burying COVID Victims

Kushma

 A sick man awaits death while his wife thinks of his body being tossed into a mass grave. COVID victims are cremated far from their families, and without any of the deeply personal rites normally offered after a death. The government has prevented families from attending burials for fear of spreading the virus. But this is deeply offensive to Hindus, who worry that without the proper burial rites people will never find eternal peace and will be prevented from going to heaven.
