Illnesses and pandemics can make it seem impossible to have a respectful and special cremation service for your loved one. You will have to make some changes to your plans or at the very least adjust them to ensure the safety of those who are going to attend the cremation services in Cartersville, GA. There are a few things you can do to make sure you are able to give your loved one the cremation services they deserve and also keep everyone who attends the services safe and comfortable. Here are a few of those things.  

Masks 

Most people wear masks in public for a variety of reasons and occasions so it will come as no surprise that they should consider wearing them to funeral and cremation services as well. You may want to remind those who are planning to attend the services to bring their masks. You can also make the masks available at the entry to the crematory so those who do not have masks with them or who may have forgotten them at home can still grab one and attend the cremation services to pay their respects.  

Social Distancing 

When you are attending cremation services and are trying to comfort your loved ones and family members, you want to be able to hug them and get close to them.  You will want to try to keep your distance as much as possible and attempt to remain six feet apart. You should avoid hugs and close contact and you may also want to work with the funeral home director to move the seating so the crematory can still accommodate all the people who plan to attend the services but also ensure they are safe and staying far enough apart from each other.  

Virtual Services 

You don’t have to invite everyone to attend the cremation service in person to include them. There are plenty of ways to make everyone feel like they are a part of the service even if they can’t actually attend. You have the option to have a virtual service where you record or live stream the services online. You can do this on your phone, via website, or even on your social media page. You can make it so the public can view the cremation or only make it available to a specific audience by invitation.
