ABSTRACT
When dealing with infectious disease-related deaths, it is important to handle the remains of the deceased in a respectful and safe manner. There is no known evidence of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through handling of COVID-19 victim remains. However, guidelines recommend appropriate precautions to ensure safety from any potential risk. Discussions of safe and dignified postmortem care in COVID-19 cases can guide future decision making to encourage safety, dignity, and respect for all.
