The funeral, at the time of Covid, also goes live streaming.
To offer it as an additional service is a funeral agency in Orvieto, in the province of Terni, which thus wants to "meet all those who, due to the pandemic or other impediments, cannot participate in the funeral in presence".
As Andrea Scopetti, 45, owner of the company, explains to ANSA.
"It all began with the pandemic emergency and with the impossibility of celebrating the funeral normally", says Scopetti.
"Ours - he says - is already a very complicated job because unfortunately it has to do with people's pain and when the anti Covid rules have effectively prevented the relatives of the deceased from participating in the farewell of their loved one, we I thought it was right to offer, free of charge, the possibility of participating in that intimate moment anyway, albeit from behind the screen of a computer or smartphone ".
The service was immediately successful, "so much so that today - underlines the impresario - we are also asked for funerals that have nothing to do with the pandemic, but perhaps the relatives of the extinct are hundreds of kilometers from ours. cities and have the pleasure of being present, even if from a distance, at the funeral ".
It can be limited only to the moment of mass in church.
"Or - explains Scopetti - it can be extended from the funeral home up to the moment of burial.
Obviously we do not accept requests that lead to morbidity or lack of respect for the deceased".
"Everything takes place on one of the many web platforms that are available today - says the entrepreneur -, the link is generated and sent to those who request it through our website. By clicking you connect to the live broadcast we create with cell phones that are certainly less impactful than a real camera ".
