There’s no denying the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has basically turned our world on its axis. Everything from the way we learn, work, dine, socialize with each other, and even grieve has changed. If there’s a silver lining it’s in the way businesses and families have creativity adapted to find new and even innovative ways to include everyone and provide feelings of connectedness when being in close proximity isn’t an option. Losing a loved one is hard enough but planning a funeral during a pandemic has its own set of challenges. Luckily, the professional staff at Adolf Funeral Home & Cremation Services can help you with the process.
Discuss your options
With all the options available to connect virtually, it’s easier than ever to invite your closest friends and family members to not only discuss the options available to you for the funeral but share stories and memories. Consider platforms such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, and even Facebook. These video chat platforms are ideal because you can send out invites at times that work for everyone, furthermore, the video option allows you to engage and interact with each other on a more personal level than just a phone call which can be healing during a time of grief.
Take a virtual tour
At Adolf Funeral Home & Cremation Services you can take a tour of facilities to get a feel for where the services will be held. When you plan on traveling you wouldn’t book your excursion without taking a tour and the same should be true when it comes to selecting the perfect funeral home for your loved one. We live in a digital world and it’s easier than ever to take virtual tours for those who live out of town and even close due to the pandemic.
