The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a backlog of funeral memorials. The provincial gathering restrictions have permitted funerals of ten people or less, but anything more is considered a health risk. General Manager of Denning’s Ltd. in Strathroy, Brett Denning, says things have been smooth so far thanks to their experience using online streaming.
Denning adds that some families have chosen to hold off on having a larger ceremony until the summer or fall. He says people want to be able to honour their loved ones properly with their entire family and friends in attendance.
