The threat of COVID-19 still lingers. Social distancing regulations are widely authorised and mandated by the authorities for safety and security. However, it placed heavy restrictions on public gatherings, including funeral services. While Singapore funeral services are allowed to happen, it can still be challenging for families and visiting mourners with strict policies - it limits the number of people who are allowed to attend a funeral and memorial gatherings.
For other circumstances, some choose not to have a funeral service due to restrictions, while others would opt for a much more exclusive household funeral gathering. Here are tips for holding a funeral or memorial services during a pandemic:
Invite a few people who are close distance-wise
Apart from the funeral cost in Singapore, which can be another problem, many are concerned about who they should invite for the funeral without compromising the strict regulation. The best piece of advice in working around this is to reach a few individuals who are approximately close to where the funeral will occur.
Host a conference call
Hosting a conference call is perhaps the best way to establish a virtual connection and support for each other in times of grieving. What's best about this is that they can stay connected for longer periods as you intend it. Even friends and loved ones overseas can join and participate as well. It saves time and money from having a local funeral director in Singapore set up a place for a gathering.
Create a blog or webpage that will serve as a remembrance
If you're hosting a virtual gathering, creating a virtual remembrance that serves as a virtual 'memory book' for friends or loved ones is an ideal way of honouring and immortalising the deceased.
