The corona crisis has crippled many businesses across europe but there are also some industries that are thriving under the outbreak for example anything that has to do with funerals will take you to the sanish town of about that in the northwestern part of the country it is the be the spanish cough in the capital until the cheap imports made business tough for local manufacturers but now casket makers like. Are needed like never before. One days business is down hes a coffin make a river davia in galicia in the northwest of spain. That the Family Company which was set up in the 1950 s. I was born into this my grandfather run the company 1st and though i run a. Business has never been so good coated 19 pandemic has caused many more deaths than usual all of a sudden there was a huge demand and they could barely keep up. The good will probably helmer. If course we worked more much more when the conditions were worse. Went to work really fast to make the conference they werent as perfect as they would have been in normal circumstances without them normally. And its not that they didnt have experience with plenty of forest and therefore would this area once supplied coffins to the whole country earning quite a reputation p. Large childs great grandfather was the 1st spaniard to set up an Assembly Line in a coffin factory that was 110 years ago not long before the 1st world war broke out and then the spanish flu epidemic of 1900 terrible times but good for business. Many people died of the spanish flu here and all over the world in such times like now of course there was huge demand but then all of a sudden there was no more major need for coffins then so. These days the challenge families and asked factory is no longer in operation this is also the case for most of the other coffin businesses in. These days most coffins come from china the development to say about how one day is very unhappy about. The biggest problem is the imports and in our case its the attitude of undertakers and people generally. And everyone is looking out for their money so everyone buys cheap goods from china. But you. Have a rodriguez is also a victim of this development he took over his fathers sole male 12 years ago many of the pine wood planks made here used to go to the local coffin make has. All of the look half of a close used to go to conference. But now its about 10 percent. Of what the book. You know i mean i do come from a cruiser now using other words but. Other material is old and the makers are also importing wood from elsewhere who say Luis Gonzalez is the president of the association of delish and coffin manufacturers and also the matter of pin your which is not far from where the davia there is still 9 coffin factories here he says that one reason why pine wood is no longer in demand is because the fashion has changed coffins used to be rectangular but now rounded ones are more in demand he would have. If we were to produce for a tangle or coffins again we could use wood from the region i would be in favor this would not only help was but also the sawmills you know the miracle of of the mother of the mother. He also thinks that the covert 19 crisis has shown how important it is to be less dependent on imports from abroad this is not any true for masks in ventilators but also coffins be sure that customers are going to start thinking differently. The undertakers will understand that its better to buy or spanish confidence that there was a gift by the british the moment the one of the federal of the borders closed and there were fewer coffins coming from abroad were the ones who work day and night to meet the high demand. And theres really among the. Most a bomb on there is not so. Hes also an undertaker not only a coffin maker and he says that his customers 1st priority is the price. He doesnt think that the Current Crisis will have a long lasting impact. Well see how long this all worsts at the moment or a very sensitive and aware. Still think this win 6 months that would be good the video here. But the problem is not only china and globalization coffins the road than for death.
