Why do we care?

COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of life, including end of life rituals, from spending time with loved ones in their final moments, to memorial services, and burials. We recognize that celebrating a loved one’s life creates challenges:

• Families are dispersed geographically across states
• COVID-19 has limited families to having small private memorial services

We support the needs of bereaved family members who are unable to attend the funeral in-person, through virtual memorial services.

Why Should You Consider a Virtual Funeral Service?

• Access – Provide the opportunity for those far and nearby to participate in commemorating a loved one even if they can’t attend in person
• Personalize – We can personalize the memorial service to include tributes for those attending in-person and remotely
• Social Distance – Facilitate health and safety needs for family members during the pandemic
• Dynamic – Families are more comfortable with live video, which can add a personal touch
• Recorded Memento – Live stream recordings can serve as a memento to family, friends or well wishers
