With 30 Coronavirus deaths reported in Dallas County yesterday, the largest one day total yet, Dallas funeral homes are feeling the pressure to keep up. 

John Brooks runs five funeral homes in Dallas, Irving and Bonham.

With the run of the Coronavirus, they've had many funerals to prepare and it's been tough, but one day last week was the toughest yet when they had several Coronavirus cases, at least one of them younger than usual. 

Brooks says funeral directors and embalmers respect all diseases, but this one scares him the most in the 45 years he's been in the business.
