Burying the Dead

Gravediggers carry the casket of someone presumed to have died from coronavirus as they are buried without any family present at Mount Richmond Cemetery in the Staten Island borough of New York, Tuesday, April 7, 2020. In a marathon of grief at this small Jewish cemetery mounds of dirt are piling up as graves are opened, vans are constantly arriving with bodies aboard and a line of white signs is being pressed into the ground marking plots soon to be occupied. Families are being kept away from their loved one???s gravesite at the cemetery, which caters to those with little or nothing. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Rabbi Shmuel Plafker escorts Michael Tokar to the plot for the burial of his father, David Tokar, at Mount Richmond Cemetery in the Staten Island borough of New York, Wednesday, April 8, 2020. Between travel restrictions and potentially exposed family members kept in isolation, many funerals now have no mourners on site. When they do, they are prohibited from gathering at the graveside, instead listening to rushed services by phone from cars parked 50 feet away. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Gravedigger Thomas Cortez accompanies a casket as it's brought to the plot for burial at Hebrew Free Burial Association's Mount Richmond Cemetery in the Staten Island borough of New York, Wednesday, April 8, 2020. The group serves Jews who mostly die with little or nothing. A century ago, it buried garment workers killed in the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and those who fell to the Spanish flu. More recently, it was Holocaust survivors who fled Europe. And now, those dying of the coronavirus. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Rabbi Shmuel Plafker, left, watches as a casket is brought for burial at Mount Richmond Cemetery in the Staten Island borough of New York, Wednesday, April 8, 2020. Plafker looks at the trees in bloom and the grass sprouting and finds spring???s signs of rebirth so paradoxical given the death that surrounds him. He thinks of the centuries-old words he recites on the High Holy Days, that seem to carry so much more weight now. ???Who shall perish by water and who by fire? Who by sword and who by wild beast? Who by famine and who by thirst? Who by earthquake and who by plague???? Now, it seems, a plague is upon him. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Rabbi Shmuel Plafker looks at the list of burials for the day, all listing the cause of death as COVID-19, as he keeps pace with a surge of deaths reaching Hebrew Free Burial Association's cemetery in the Staten Island borough of New York, Tuesday, April 7, 2020. ???There???s a tremendous sadness,??? he says. ???Were it not for this, they would be living, some healthy, some not so healthy. But they would be alive.??? (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Rabbi Shmuel Plafker removes his protective suit after conducting seven burials Monday, April 6, 2020, as the chaplain for the Hebrew Free Burial Association at their cemetery in the Staten Island borough of New York.

Rabbi Shmuel Plafker closes the gates after another day of keeping pace with a surge in burials, most of them deaths from coronavirus, at the Hebrew Free Burial Association's cemetery in the Staten Island borough of New York, Wednesday, April 8, 2020. As the world retreats and the pandemic???s confirmed death toll in New York City alone charges past 10,000, funeral directors, cemetery workers and others who oversee a body???s final chapter are sprinting to keep up.

Michael Tokar poses for a photo as he must mourn the death of his father without the company of his children and extended family at his home in the Staten Island borough of New York, Tuesday, April 7, 2020. "It's hard. It's just, it's strange. My father passed away and nobody can say goodbye," said Tokar. Tokar???s father, David Tokar, had a cough and fever and a home health aide got him to the hospital. Two days later, he was dead, with the coronavirus listed as the cause. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Michael Tokar packs up the apartment of his father, David Tokar, after he died from complications from coronavirus, in the Brooklyn borough of New York, Sunday, April 12, 2020. "I miss him. I like to call him sometimes. Ask him what you need, what you want, sometimes just to keep him busy," said Tokar of his 92-year-old father who collected stamps and liked to go to the casino. "I know he was old man and I was prepared that one day he'd pass away. But I wasn't ready for this. I'm not ready now." (AP Photo/David Goldman)
