The photograph shows the agency’s entrance doors with a notice that reads:
“In the premises of the ‘Omega’ funeral home, it is CATEGORICALLY PROHIBITED!!! for a priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) to perform the funeral service. Glory to Ukraine!!!”
Earlier, the UOJ reported that a bicycle repair shop in Kamianets-Podilskyi refused to provide service to parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
