South Lanarkshire is offering an online streaming option at its Crematorium to overcome the restrictions imposed on who can attend services during the coronavirus lockdown.
In order to provide as sensitive and dignified a bereavement process as possible, the Crematorium team is using technology to allow families and friends to watch the funeral service of their loved one.
The option is available for any services at the Crematorium but only to the families of the bereaved. Login details and other information about accessing the service have been provided to funeral directors who will discuss this feature with the families and provide any associated details that will allow additional family and friends to view the service.
Alistair McKinnon, the Head of Facilities, Waste and Grounds Services, said: “We hope that this streaming service will help bereaved families and friends through what is already a very emotional time.
“With the conditions imposed by the coronavirus, this online facility will let all grieving family members and friends watch the service, overcoming not only the restrictions on the numbers able to attend but also for those whose own situations are restricting their movements.”
