Death During a Pandemic: Creating Meaningful Moments for Families In Any Circumstance
Summary
Even in the best of times, it can be challenging to ensure every single family you serve feels as if they were able to fully honor their loved one at the end of life. Some death care practitioners shifted course when they saw how the pandemic was affecting grieving families, and tried to find ways to work around the restrictions. Before the pandemic, Angela would often create ceremonies with families to wash, anoint, and mourn the body of their loved ones. Another way Angela was able to continue her level of service with client families after the pandemic began was her attitude. Even if a family does not have a specific religious protocol for handling the deceased, funeral homes can develop ceremonies for small moments that elevate the situation to the sacred.
