GOLDEN TRIANGLE, Miss. (WCBI) – As the CDC recommends gatherings of ten people or less, funeral directors are left with questions.

Golden Triangle death care industry executives met in Columbus Wednesday to discuss the dilemma.

Lowndes County EMA Director Cindy Lawrence, Coroner Greg Merchant and Clay County Coroner Alvin Carter were also there.

The industry is facing many questions, as the coronavirus continues to spread across the country.
