Funerals and Covid 19: The Diocese wish to highlight some points in relation to the implementation of public health guidelines in the context of bereavements and funerals.

Attendance at funerals is restricted to 10.
No removal to the church the evening before.
People not attending the funeral liturgy should avoid congregating outside the church or around the hearse and should not approach the bereaved in the church grounds or cemetery to sympathize.
No wakes or large gatherings for prayers in the house of the deceased nor gatherings in cemeteries.
Support for the bereaved can be expressed through social media as an alternative to attending the funeral. Often it is possible to link to a local church for a funeral ceremony via a webcam/Facebook Live.
