Eleven present divided on eight banks. So in the early afternoon in Brescia we returned to celebrate a funeral in the church after almost two months of burial without the funeral rite. The funeral of an 81 year old who died in Covid and whose daughter is still hospitalized with Coronavirus was celebrated. Those present with a mask had a fever before entering the church and were required to sanitize their hands.
Funeral also in Rome . fifteen cards given to the family to 'count' and choose the 15 admitted to the funeral, among relatives and friends, and as many on the church benches to indicate where to sit. In a church close to the Colosseum, few said goodbye to Mario, who died on May 1st at the age of 85. Coronavirus has nothing to do with it. He had been hospitalized for some time. In church all with masks, no more than two seated per bench. Outside, some people waiting, but no gatherings at the end of the funeral. The church was cleaned before and after the ceremony as told by the parish priest. It's his idea of the notes. Once the exchange of peace was abolished, the host was distributed by approaching the faithful directly as required by the new rules. Absent the music and especially the hugs for condolences.
