"(Reuters) - Venezuelan funeral homes are struggling to find coffins, with production crimped by a shortage of brass, varnish and satin, complicating the process of burying the dead in one of the world's most murderous countries.
Undertakers are borrowing coffins from each other or traveling to Colombia to get hold of them.
Some are encouraging customers to have cremations so that coffins, used only for the wake, can be "recycled."
President Nicolas Maduro describes the scarcity, which has affected a gamut of products from toilet paper to church wine, as the result of an "economic war" waged by opposition saboteurs seeking to force him out of office."
