Ebola: cremation makes act of rememberance harder The second Wednesday in March each year is celebrated as Decoration Day in Liberia, a deeply entrenched cultural practice to remember the dead. But Decoration Day 2015 is a sad day for many Liberian families and Ebola Survivors whose loved ones' bodies had to be cremated at the peak of the epidemic. Moses, a 16-year-old survivor of Ebola, lost his entire family and has no grave to decorate, but he is receiving support from the Young Life group. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES.
