Wanted: musicians who can play at solo funerals

Two years ago, the group You don't walk alone started.

The idea is that musicians, completely free and in their free time, sing, play or read a poem at funerals for those who have no one to mourn them or attend their funeral.

The initiative has attracted almost 2,000 people all over Sweden and one of them is Marco Paulsson.

The idea is that he will read poems to those who are buried alone.

But as he is not a musician himself, he hopes to find someone else in Blekinge who can hang out with him and play music.

- I feel this way that no one should have to die alone, have to be buried alone.

And it would be nice for me to read a poem for someone who has passed away and has no one with them, he says.

Marco Paulsson also works as a local politician within the Christian Democrats in Karlshamn, but does this in his spare time.
