Coronavirus update

At East Neuk Celebrants, we are still offering our services as fully as we can, but are now following the government restrictions on numbers allowed to attend funerals and distancing protocols.

When arranging a funeral, you must consider carefully who will attend, including whether or not anyone is in a high-risk group, social-distancing and avoiding all physical contact. You are also not allowed to have a gathering of any sort after the funeral, even in your own home. (If you are using a Funeral Director, they will be able to give you further detail on what you can and cannot do in the current circumstances.)

In light of this, we are now conducting initial family meetings on-line via Zoom video-conferencing. This allows all those who wish to, to take part regardless of their geographical location, including family members who may be living much further away or abroad.

We appreciate that some people may find Zoom unfamiliar. It is quite simple, but we are very happy to provide information and help to anyone who needs it.

In some locations, it may also be possible for the service to be live-streamed or recorded so that others may witness it, and you can then send a digital copy to those unable to attend. 

For further information about this, do please contact us so we can talk through how this might work for you and your family.
