Funeral directors in Nova Scotia have had a year of trying to comfort families with just their eyes, and bringing loved ones from around the world together virtually.
Although it s been difficult, those in the industry say many of the changes have been for the better and will allow more flexibility and safety even after the COVID-19 pandemic is under control. Normally for Maritimers, we come together, we hug, we cry, we talk, we tell stories and we eat. We removed all that, said Dwayne Isenor, the location manager for Cruikshanks Funeral Home in Halifax.
