“You Can’t Switch Off Death”: German Crematoriums Warn Of Energy Crisis

It still might be peak summer, but German undertakers operating crematoriums warn they’re at risk of running out of natural gas amid the unprecedented energy crunch.

Much of Germany is feeling the strain from Russia’s squeeze on NatGas’ deliveries which has worried Svend-Joerk Sobolewski, Germany’s cremation consortium chairman, according to Reuters.

Sobolewski said crematoriums are developing contingency plans for high NatGas prices and the risk of shortages.

Russian NatGas supplies have been reduced to just 20% of capacity as prices jumped 30% last week and electricity prices soared to a record, which indicates undertaker costs are getting more expensive.

Germany’s undertakers’ association shows one million Germans die each year, and about 75% are cremated. Compared with other European countries, Germany has the highest cremation rates.- READ MORE
