The Viminale explained that the necessary assistance was provided to local administrations for the purpose of interring the bodies or transporting them to other Italian locations or abroad, following the necessary and complex activity conducted by the municipality of Cutro for the preparation of death certificates and mortuary passports. In addition, coverage with funds from the Ministry of the Interior was assured for funeral honors and immediate assistance-related costs. In accordance with the Calabria Region, he then arranged hotel accommodations for approximately eighty relatives of the victims.
