(Graphic: WOOD-TV) Theaters, schools, stores, houses of worship and most restaurants and bars can have larger crowds than are allowed at Michigan funerals. I can have more people attend the funeral luncheon than the funeral, says Matt Hollebeek, vice president of a Grand Rapids group of three funeral homes, quoted by TV station WOOD. Visitations and funerals have been capped at 25 people since fall under Covid safety rules, regardless of building size. This often forces mourners to rotate in shifts or to attend via livestreaming. This was so hard because . you had to pick and choose who could come to the funeral, Diana Lyon-Schumacher of Traverse City tells WPBN in her hometown. Her 46-year-old daughter, elementary teacher Jennifer Johnson, died last month from cancer. We have a huge immediate family and just a humungous extended family, the mother adds. The funeral was livestreamed and an outdoor celebration of her life will follow in August.
