During this time of isolation, everything has been impacted: from the approach to groceries, children’s schooling, and travel. Governments are introducing new programs while communities are learning to adjust. At times like this, we hope that people are expressing gratitude to those that assist us with our health care, our food, and all other essential services. Accommodations have been made and neighborhoods have come together. However, in this time where people can be discerning, learning to make judgement calls, there is one thing that rarely discriminates or is considerate of time – and that’s death.

Death knows little bounds and never follows a schedule. Death can visit in the night, in good weather or bad, with or without notice. And, although death never changes, the way we are to observe death and celebrate a life has been gravely affected.

Basic Funerals has been a leader in the industry of providing families with  low cost, simple options  – giving families the power to celebrate their loved one’s life in their own way and in their own time. Traditional burials are still an option, but with gatherings being limited to immediate family or nothing more than a handful of people, families are choosing differently.

Many funeral homes and celebratory venues such as churches or community halls have been impacted with no one to rent their space for gatherings.

Here is a list of alternative ways to observe death during times of social isolation:

Experiencing the death of a loved one is a personal journey to be observed in one’s own way – to bring comfort, solace, and peace. Please reach out to speak to our  expert Funeral Professionals for guidance  and direction.
