“It is wonderful that the number will be increased to 50 from next week. Families were now faced with heartbreaking choices far too often. (…) Hairdressers and contact professions were already open, but you can only say goodbye once. you cannot be there, it is extremely difficult “, it sounded last Friday.
But on closer inspection, the funeral industry is rather disappointed. “The phone was ringing off the hook for many funeral directors this weekend,” Dexters told Belga. Families want clarity about saying goodbye to their loved one as soon as possible. “The fifteen attendees often lead to harrowing situations. If each of the children has three children, you quickly get over that.”
The limitation of one person per 10 square meters is a big problem, says Dexters: “” If we have to adhere to that, we cannot accommodate even fifteen people in most funeral homes. You can only seat ten people in a room of one hundred square meters. That is making people happy with a dead sparrow. “
Funebra also reiterates the call to vaccinate funeral directors as a priority, as they regularly come into contact with COVID deaths.
