For the first time since the start of the pandemic, the number of deaths in Austria fell last year. When it is cold outside, a lot of people die – the ‘Krone’ wanted to know how funeral directors deal with these ‘tips’ and what should be taken into account in the funeral sector.

What many do not want to believe is now irrefutably reflected in the statistics: Since the start of the corona pandemic, the number of deaths has risen steadily and reached a new record of 93,332 across Austria in 2022. According to Statistics Austria, the numbers have fallen again for the first time since the previous year: in 2023 there were 5,000 fewer deaths than in 2022.
