Corpses Are Being Transported To Or From The Mortuary On Motorcycles In The Rural Areas Of The Democratic Republic Of Congo (Drc)
Since many can’t afford paying a car to transport the dead person’s body back to his village for proper burial, many end up by hiring a motorcycle to do the job.
The bikers must move to a distance of nearly 400 km, with a corpse on the back. Some poor families are forced to adopt this technique.
The lifeless body is wrapped in a blanket, supported on both sides by tree branches attached to a motorcycle.
This is how “boda boda” riders in parts of rural DR Congo transport corpse to and from the mortuary.
