Sunset Park group sets up petition to relocate bodies from trucks on 39th Street Pier
Most are headed to potter’s field on Hart Island
A group of Sunset Park residents are calling for the city to transfer the approximately 750 bodies from New York — victims of COVID-19 that are being stored on refrigerated trucks at the foot of 39th Street Pier in Sunset Park — out of the area.
Tony Giordano, founder of both the popular Sunset Parker Facebook page and the Sunset Park Restoration organization, has set up a petition for residents to sign to ensure that the bodies are given a final resting place.
