French funerals see surge amid heatwave

France has experienced an unprecedented heatwave that led to an increase of about a thousand deaths above the normal rate between Wednesday and Sunday. Due to the rising death toll, police cemeteries and care homes are facing a shortage of storage space for bodies, as the refrigeration rooms at one funeral service provider are fully occupied, and they have received 150 calls refusing to accept new bodies. Although temperatures have decreased to around 30 degrees Celsius, authorities expect the heat to rise again next week, putting additional pressure on both burial and cremation operations.
