The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said people should follow social distancing advice and limit how many people attend funerals during the coronavirus pandemic.
He said that a pastor at the weekend was unable to travel to the funeral home due to restrictions related to the pandemic and carried out his service via webcam for both mourners attending the funeral and those watching at home.
One funeral director told the BBC that he offered live-streaming services before the outbreak for around $75 , but now he would be waiving the fee. In Italy, the worst-hit country outside of China, with more than 31,000 confirmed cases and over 2,500 deaths, more drastic measures have been taken—funerals have been banned. Instead, priests are allowed to say a simple prayer during burials attended by just a few people.
