I was unable to attend their funeral in person because of the COVID-19 restrictions Some family and/or close friends were excluded from the funeral because of the COVID-19 restrictions We were able to have the funeral service or ritual we wanted for them People in the community still found meaningful ways to honour them on the day of their funeral Even with restrictions, some aspects of the funeral were a comfort to me
