WINTER GARDEN, Fla. (WESH) — At West Side Crematory in Winter Garden, they’re overwhelmed with the remains of people that need to be cremated.

There’s an influx of bodies like they’ve never seen, worse than the first wave of COVID-19. The area where bodies are stored prior to being cremated is stacked to the ceiling. The staff is working day and night to honor the dead.

“We don’t get the specifics of why someone has passed, but the (body) bags, we have a code that is on them and we know those are COVID,” Pam Springer, the owner of West Side Crematory said.

Demings said the county may have to reach out to Tallahassee to get help dealing with the surplus of bodies.

“It may require a request to the state for additional refrigeration portable units to be deployed,” he said. “We’re just doing an assessment, at this point, to determine how critical that is so we don’t have the final answer today but we’re working through it.”
