Relatives mourn as cemetery workers bury a victim of coronavirus (COVID-19) at Vila Formosa Cemetery on March 12, 2021 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Vila Formosa, the biggest graveyard in Latin America, has seen its activity grow in the last weeks due to the surge of deaths related to coronavirus. Burials and cremations in the capital of Sao Paulo grew 11% in the first week of March compared to February. The increase means that there is already a lack of raw material for the manufacture of coffins and recently, hearse jams and queues have been recorded at the cemetery.
