A funeral car's body falls in the middle of a street in Santiago de Cuba.

As unbelievable as it may seem, it happened again. This Thursday, a coffin fell off the hearse that was transporting it in Santiago de Cuba.

It happened on 4th Street, in the Mariana de la Torre neighborhood, as journalist Yosmany Mayeta reported. He shared a video on his social media recorded by a witness of the macabre scene.

In the images, you can see how a woman and a man try to rearrange the body in the casket, seconds before putting the lid back on, which apparently broke at the moment the coffin fell.

"I hope that lamentable scenes like this one do not repeat themselves because the family's pain increases in the presence of events like these. I call on communal and funeral services in Santiago de Cuba to make more resistant and good quality coffins," wrote Mayeta Labrada.

The communicator also asked for a review of the conditions of the cars in which the coffins are transported.

And this painful incident takes place just a few days after another similar event, which also occurred in Santiago de Cuba.

Last week, the fall of another coffin went viral, this time on the central Victoriano Garzón avenue, near the 18-story buildings, in the heart of the city of Santiago de Cuba.

Upon realizing, the driver reversed to pick up the coffin and two men helped him load the casket onto the vehicle, while dozens of pedestrians stopped to watch the unusual situation.

Despite the unusual nature of both events, they are not even remotely the first of their kind.

In 2016, the images of a corpse falling from a hearse at the central corner of 23rd and G street in the heart of Vedado in Havana caused a stir.

The country's critical economic situation has shaken the funeral services sector with force.

To the panorama of collapsed cemeteries, frequently vandalized and with serious infrastructure problems, the lack of hearses adds - which has forced all kinds of alternatives - as well as the shortage of materials for making coffins and the scarcity of flowers for the wreaths.

The scenes of funeral processions in which coffins are carried in horse-drawn carriages, tractors, motorcycles, tricycles, and even bicycle taxis and wheelbarrows do not cease to cause pain despite being common.
