Guidelines For Funeral Homes During A Pandemic

 

When the country slowed to a stop when the pandemic first hit, there were some businesses that simply couldn’t stop in their tracks. Funeral homes in Skaneateles, NY were some of those businesses. People were still passing away and in need of funeral home services. Instead of coming to a halt, funeral homes adapted and continue to adapt very quickly to the current needs. Here are some of the guidelines funeral homes have put out that can help you get through this time if you lose a loved one.

 

Options For Virtual Planning

While going to the funeral home for a tour and in-person planning sessions is still an option, if you are more comfortable keeping your distance, or if perhaps you live out of the area, you can plan everything that you need to plan virtually. You can have phone calls, video conferences, and anything else you need to get the job done from a distance. Much of the initial paperwork can even be filled out online.

 

Livestreaming Options

You might not want to gather all of your family members for an in-person service during this uncertain time. You can, however, have a smaller service and then livestream that service to family members who can watch from the safety and comfort of their own home. Everyone can participate, but there are fewer risks involved for even those attending with less people there.

 

Hand Sanitizing Stations

Funeral homes have stations throughout their facilities, normally with water and tissues, but now, they also include hand sanitizer. Any time anyone comes into contact with someone else, they have the opportunity to sanitize their hands whenever they feel necessary to do so.

 

Group Size Recommendations

The professionals in this industry are keeping a close eye on area recommendations for gatherings. You may not know all the details about what is mandated and what is recommended from day to do, but the professionals at the funeral home know everything you need to know in order to put together a gathering of a certain size in a safe manner.

 

Advice On Distancing

Funeral home experts understand that you are going to want at least some family and friends around you during this hard time and that’s okay. They have advice on how you can have certain services, like a visitation, a funeral, or a burial service, and keep your distance from others to honor your loved one, but remain safe at the same time.
