Part 5/13:
One professional shared how most cases involve elderly individuals who have succumbed in their homes after long periods of loneliness. The process involves thorough cleaning, disinfection, and handling the remains with dignity, often in heartbreaking circumstances. For example, Mr. Ho, who was left in a state of decomposition for two weeks after passing away alone, had to be laid to rest with minimal contact due to the advanced stage of decomposition. The work is physically demanding, requires strict safety protocols, and is emotionally draining, especially when community members or family are absent.
