Just in time for lunch
Automatically saved draft
Scandal at Easter: A dead body was carted away during lunch at a retirement home in Salzburg - relatives criticize the lack of sensitivity of the home management, which defends itself in an interview with "Krone".
Life and death are an integral part of the Roman Catholic liturgy, especially during the Easter holidays. But the highly macabre events in a retirement home in Salzburg (known to the "Krone") are still causing visitors and relatives to frown - even weeks after Easter Monday!
"The atmosphere became spooky"
In detail: the body of a popular resident is said to have been carted through the dining room on April 1, just in time for lunch. An eyewitness explains: "Suddenly the door opened and the atmosphere became spooky at a stroke. Then two morticians simply pushed a coffin through the packed dining room. Not a word of regret or apology followed, it was almost like a bad April Fool's joke."
Ethically, of course, this is a disaster, but the municipal funeral service is a service provider.
Statement der Heimleitung
The blame is now being placed on the home management - but they reject the criticism: "Ethically, of course, it's a disaster, but the municipal funeral service is a service provider. We often have no influence on the date," asserts the home manager. In future, however, the aim is to avoid such images, as the care sector has completely different problems, he says.
