Funeral homes finding balance
JIM CHAPMAN | The Journal Gazette
Funeral homes have had to protect their guests, yet still allow them opportunities to grieve – and keep up with demand.
Many people have chosen to delay funeral services because of the coronavirus, but many still want to gather to mourn loved ones, area funeral directors say.
“One thing we ve learned when we have a death, we still grieve and we yearn to have people around us,” said Andy Clayton, executive director of the Indiana Funeral Directors Association. “It s been a challenge to have that support network interrupted. We have learned our communities don t want that.”
