On October 29, images of people using boats to transport coffins across flooded areas in Nam Hai Lang commune (Quang Tri province) were circulating on social media. Through verification, the incident occurred at the funeral of Mr. N.B (98 years old, residing in Phu Kinh village, Nam Hai Lang commune).
According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Thoang, a resident of Phu Kinh village, because Mr. B.'s house was deeply flooded, this morning, the villagers joined hands to bring the coffin onto the boat, moving to a higher area to hold a funeral.
According to Mr. Thoang, the coffin was brought to the family's church for the ceremony. The commune cemetery is still flooded, so the family plans to take him to the cemetery of Con Tien commune.
Mr. Tran Huu Bac, Chairman of Nam Hai Lang Commune People's Committee, said that due to the impact of heavy rain, many roads and residential areas in the commune were deeply flooded, people had to move by boat to ensure safety.
