Gatherings and Funerals during Covid-19

When someone we love and care for dies, it is natural for us to want to gather together to remember and celebrate the life of our loved one.

Having that gathering denied to us by the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 on funerals is hard for us all emotionally. The restrictions have demonstrated to us all, the importance of a funeral as part of a meaningful farewell and more particularly the elements that go to make up that farewell.

An important element of a meaningful funeral is the support we derive from those who attend the gathering. As we cannot currently gather in the physical sense, we must derive that support in another way. The Government restrictions say,

those living with their loved one prior to their death can attend our funeral home and say goodbye.

• Those of you not from the immediate family ‘bubble’ can be part of this goodbye via our live streaming system.

• With the use of a video conferencing software, Morris & Morris can arrange for an interactive goodbye that includes all family and friends that you may wish to invite.

Live streaming and video conferencing are currently offered free of charge at Morris & Morris during the Alert level 4 restrictions on funerals. Before you make any decisions give us a call and talk to the experts

Keep and eye on our page for more information about meaningful funerals during the alert Level 4 restrictions.
