The crisis of funeral services in Santiago de Cuba continues to generate lamentable scenes, such as that of a broken-down hearse in the middle of the historic center, near Plaza de Marte.
Journalist Yosmany Mayeta shared a photo on Facebook of a broken-down hearse on a public street in Santiago de Cuba. Although he did not specify whether the vehicle was transporting a body, the post underscores the current crisis in funeral services in the eastern province.
"There are no funeral cars in Santiago de Cuba, and this vehicle broke down in the middle of Plaza de Marte," commented a communicator who has repeatedly denounced the problems with the transport of the deceased in the region.
"What he has behind him is a Chinese," Mayeta joked.
Last May, a coffin fell from a hearse and was left lying in the middle of Garzón Avenue, creating a bizarre scene in Santiago de Cuba.
The unfortunate incident, reported by the communicator Mayeta on his Facebook profile, occurred in front of a children's circle and in a very crowded area of the eastern city, just a few blocks from the provincial headquarters of the PCC and near the intersection that marks kilometer 969 of the Central Highway.
In June, a month later, something similar also happened in Santiago de Cuba.
Another coffin fell from the hearse that was transporting it, but this time on 4th Street, in the Mariana de la Torre neighborhood, as specified by journalist Mayeta, who published a video on his social media recorded by a witness of the macabre scene.
The images show how a woman and a man attempt to rearrange the body in the coffin, seconds before closing the lid again, which apparently broke at the moment the coffin fell.
"I hope that lamentable scenes like this do not happen again because the family's pain increases in the face of events like these. I call on community and funeral services in Santiago de Cuba to make more durable coffins with good material," wrote Mayeta.
