Funeral restrictions stopped families giving loved ones the send-off they feel they deserve, the head of a firm of funeral directors said, but technology has helped mourners pay their respects.
One year on from the first coronavirus death in Scotland, Dom Maguire, chairman of Anderson Maguire Funeral Directors in Glasgow and a former president of the UK Association of Funeral Directors, reflects on the impact of the pandemic on services and the bereaved.
The restriction on the number of people who can attend funeral services in person has been the “principal problem” for families organising funerals, he believes.
The limit currently stands at 20 but was restricted to immediate family only when Scotland first went into lockdown on March 23.
