Funeral homes are adapting to reduced attendance for end of life celebrations and ask families to consider a smaller funeral or even wait until after the pandemic to hold a large memorial service.
As limits are placed on gatherings and businesses close, funerals are being rethought to restrict attendance.
"Irrespective of , you're going to have deaths," said John Maher, the director of Brett Funeral Home."So we have to keep working the best that we can. ... May there be an increase? I'm afraid to say there likely will be." Miller wrote that priests could officiate at graveside services, but they should be aware of the number of attendees. Catholics in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee will still be able to hold funerals, but attendance will be limited. Rabbis will probably stop sitting shiva at someone's home in the event of a death.
The Rev. Marshall Hatch, a minister in Chicago, decided to stop presiding over funerals after a service at his church attracted 400 people. In the ensuing days, as the government kept reducing the number of people allowed at public events, he couldn’t shake the memory of all those mourners hugging each other.
