Dress appropriately even you are just attending funeral service virtually. You may ask the family if they have dress code so you could follow, since you should always err on keeping the camera on as it shows a certain level of respect.

When a loved one dies we have to consider the expectation of our grief versus the reality. Our mourning may feel different than how we expected it to feel. A funeral service, or celebration of life, can look like many different things. It may be more traditional within the church or funeral home; or it could be a community picnic, a family dinner, or even a special time set-aside for a phone call. Love and support are shown in many different ways, and there is no wrong way to honor the lives of our loved ones. Through this shared time together, we allow our family and friends to help us knit together shared memories of happy times, silly times, angry times, and sad times to create an emotional comfort blanket that can warm and ease us during this time of loss.

In the funeral profession, a celebrant is a non-clergy professional that conducts formal memorials or celebration of life services. They are dedicated to conduct meaningful services that honor and remember a life lived. They can do so without linking to religious affiliation or beliefs, or include the deceased beliefs as requested. The message of their service includes unique sharing of how the deceased lived their life, their personality and values, and even memories from family and friends. Not only do they perform the funeral service, they actually plan and oversee all funeral proceedings. A funeral celebrant is there to help you decide on any and all details as you are arranging the funeral.
