That's really tough Horseyrider1. It must feel so bad not to be able to attend your father-in-law's funeral. But it has to be safety first. And you can still say goodbye in your own way. For very different reasons I wasn't able to attend my mum-in-law's funeral a couple of months ago. My husband had to represent us both, but I framed a photo of her, put a posy of flowers in a bowl, and lit a candle and just remembered the times we had enjoyed together in the past. Maybe later, when there is more freedom, you could light a candle in church or do something special to remember him. I feel for you though.

Thank you. Stay safe.
Yes thank you I will be doing that.
I'm so sorry, it really is sad. You can take comfort though from the fact that you loved him so you could say a few words to him of your own whilst the funeral is taking place and light a candle in his memory as Callendarsgal suggested. Take care. xx

I'm so sorry you can't attend his funeral but he will always have known how much you loved him and he would not want you either putting yourself at risk or feeling bad for staying home and being safe. Callendarsgal's suggestion sounds lovely.
We were unable to go to a very close friends funeral a few years ago because of the World Cup football starting in Germany when we needed to fly there. The only flights were first class and no way we could afford the tickets.
As a family we were so saddened but decided to sit together for the time of the service, we lit a candle and silently said our own goodbye.
Then we looked at some photos and remembered the good times we had had together.
Later we went for a walk in a beautiful wood where our friend had loved the wildlife and wildflowers when we had been there together.
I know you cannot do the walking part but perhaps stroll down memory lane through some photographs.
Oh I am so sorry for you. This is the worst part of this pandemic. You are in my thoughts and prayers. x
So Sorry for your loss 🙏 I wish You and your Family Peace🙏
It's awful when you can't say goodbye or hold his hand. When all this is over, get all his friends and family around and have a celebration of his life where everyone can share stories about him. I could not attend my brother in law's funeral yesterday and I'm not sure if i can go to my sister in law's funeral next week. This damn virus has got a lot to answer for. Stay safe 🤗
So sorry you carnt make funerals as well, You certainly right this virius is causing so much pain and heartbreak to so many people, I'll hopefully feel abit better once I know the service is over this feeling inside at moment is not nice. Stay safe and lots of hugs to you and your family. X

Sorry to hear this it's so hard at the moment, is it a funeral or cremation? My friend was cremated last week and we were able to 'attend' on line see if that's a possibility for you. Failing that do something yourself at the time and say goodbye that way. Big hug coming your way
Hi Its a cremation tmorrow morning, I am having to shield myself as immune stytem very low so it's in possible to go. I am going to light a candle and have some quiet time to remember the good things and good times. Thank you for your thoughts. Stay safe.
That's a good idea to mark occasion. Take care.
Thank you. 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss. I had to attend my first virtual Zoom funeral two weeks ago for someone who was very dear to me, and very dear to all of her loved ones. I believe she got her wings, and is now a guardian angel . God bless you, and your loved one's, as we all are trying to deal with this new abnormal/normal/. XoXoXo
Sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.
