If you can't hold a funeral, how are you managing this?

[chloe40]

Have you been given information about when you can?

My thoughts are with you, I cannot imagine what you're going through.

Hiya. My Mum died April 11, and we haven't been able to have a funeral. (Well, we could have, but nobody over 70 could attend, and that ruled out 90% of her friends, so we decided to wait.)

She wanted to be cremated, so we did that and brought her ashes home. She's in pride of place, on the mantle piece. We're going to wait until the Covid-19 situation changes (whenever that is), and then invite people to her house for a celebration of her life.

Thank you Chloe. I didn't get a notification for this or I would have answered sooner. It's now been 9.5 months, and still no funeral. Sigh.
