How does one go about planning a memorial service for a partner when you know they're going to die (in times of COVID) but not when?
Mr. Peach has stage 4 colon cancer. This is a fact. He's actually doing better right now than he has been for the last four and a half months, but he's gonna go at some point. Having been through being my mother's caregiver, I know a lot of stuff takes care of itself and that I will have to call 911 if he dies at home and they'll take him away for diagnosis and then hand him over to whatever funeral home I designate. He's an Episcopalian so I know I could probably call his old church and set up a weekday service. But I would like to start planning for it now, and ideally even pay for some of it.
He is much loved by a bunch of people who will want to attend a memorial. However, many people I know have gotten COVID at memorials and weddings and I don't want to risk it for them. Will funeral homes arrange outdoor services? Woudl that work? Should I try for a tiny family-pod service (me, my kid, the son-in-law, the grandkid) and then do an outside memorial service for all the folks who will want to celebrate his life? Can I put it off for a long while in case things get better?
What did you do? I'm looking for nuts-and-bolts, personal preferences, and things that were good experiences. |
