What terrifies Undertaker Eric Wrede in times of pandemic, above all, are the circumstances of dying.

Visits are prohibited in many hospitals, and not all houses allow relatives to accompany the terminally ill on their last journey.
Wrede learns every day what devastation this causes in the mourners. “People struggle with the question of how their mother, their husband, their grandmother felt when they died. The feeling that they left peacefully is suspended with Covid-19. ”One of the most violent triggers for grief is a guilty conscience, as Wrede learned in many conversations.
