I don't know if anyone has experienced the same, but I haven't been to a wake or funeral since COVID started. People die, and then there's no visitation or funeral of any kind - I think the families do a cremation, and that's that.

It's a really cold feeling. It demonstrates to me why these rituals were important in the first place. It is like the person just disappears.




My first time getting covid was (highly suspected to be) from a funeral I went to last spring.
