Planning a cremation can be stressful and emotional at any time, but trying to do so when there is a pandemic going around makes it all the more difficult. You want your loved ones to feel safe when visiting the services, but you also want to make sure the services go well and are designed just the way you want them. If you are planning cremation service in North Charleston, SC, be sure to keep in mind some of these tips and suggestions to help you plan a safe and appropriate cremation for your loved one.

Masks 

Many people don't like to wear a mask, but if you think it will help protect your guests, you can ask them to do so at your cremation services. Most people will be okay with wearing them if they know this is your wish. You can even keep some disposable masks at the cremation service so you can pass them on to all guests who may have shown up for the cremation without remembering to bring one with them. When they are ready, they can take them off or throw them away. These masks are cheap and make it so anyone who feels the need to wear them can do so and know that they are protected from illnesses. 

Streaming Services 

You may not have thought about streaming a cremation, but you may need to do so when you are trying to make it possible for others to participate in the service. So they still have a chance to feel like they can tell their loved one a proper goodbye and maybe even have closure even if they can’t attend the services in person. While this is not the type of cremation service your guests expect, it is a safe way for them to get to participate and still have a chance to say goodbye.

Seating 

Most people like to sit at a cremation service and can chat with anyone else attending the service. You can find a way to move the chairs or seats at the crematory so people can still be close but are also a safe space apart. This will help reduce the chance of anyone spreading an illness or getting sick while at the services. Keep in mind that you may need to tell your guests to keep the chair where they are and to not move the chair around and take a chance of making other guests sick.
