Our Funeral Home is Overwhelmed With Bodies

Things are bad in Los Angeles. If you want to help, and live in the Los Angeles area, we ask that you contact your local government representatives to express your displeasure at the lack of government aid for funeral homes, death care workers, and grieving families in Los Angeles. Here are some ways you can find your local representatives' contact info: https://www.lacity.org/government/popular-information/elected-official-offices http://www.laalmanac.com/government/gu03.php Press enquiries: [email protected] At this time, we ask that you do *not* contact our funeral home to offer support. We appreciate your desire to help but 100% of our energy has to be focused on serving the people in our care. Thank you. ***CREDITS*** Mortician: Caitlin Doughty Producer & Writer: Louise Hung (@LouiseHung1) Editor & Graphics: Landis Blair (@landisblair) Editor: Alex Rogals ***SELECTED ADDITIONAL READING*** "Deaths among Latinos in L.A.
