In Nepal's capital, sole crematorium for COVID victims becomes busier
Elsewhere in a country that ranks among the world's poorest, the bodies are burned on funeral pyres and their ashes are buried, but in the capital they are brought to the crematorium in the Pashupatinath Hindu temple complex.
"There is hardly any space for emotion," Shyam Kharel, one of the workers there, told Reuters as he got ready to place a yellow bag containing a body in the incinerator.
