The Mail Car of Cuba is used to transport coffins in Santiago de Cuba.

The crisis in funeral services continues to leave unusual scenes, such as using a vehicle from Correos de Cuba to transport a coffin.


The crisis in Cuba continues to generate unusual scenes: in Santiago de Cuba, the same vehicle from the company Correos de Cuba, used to transport packages, letters, magazines, and newspapers, is now being used to transport coffins.

The journalist Yosmany Mayeta shared a reel on Facebook showing the bizarre scene accompanied by a message: “From transporting mail packages to coffins, this is what state transportation in Cuba has come to.”

The video shared by the communicator shows the exact moment when the coffin was placed inside the car of the company Correos de Cuba.

In May, the city of Santiago de Cuba became the scene of a moment straight out of a fiction movie: a coffin fell in the middle of the busy and central Victoriano Garzón Avenue, very close to a children's circle and the provincial headquarters of the Communist Party of Cuba.

Also in that same month, but in Bauta, Artemisa province, a Cuban family had to transport their deceased in a tricycle to the cemetery due to the lack of fuel in the country.

A Cuban reported in July the lack of a coffin and transport for a deceased relative in the town of La Estrella, in the municipality of Buey Arriba, Granma.

"My friends, help me share this post. My uncle has been dead since yesterday. He is already decomposing, he has a very bad smell, and there is no coffin or transportation to take him for burial. Help me," Olenmis wrote alongside a photo showing a body covered with a sheet and some flowers on top, in what appears to be the entrance of a home.
