CONNECTION, particularly in moments of grief, is a core human need. In times like today, where physical distancing is crucial in curbing the current health crisis, connection with loved ones is especially difficult. Thanks to technology, however, people now have several ways of connecting at their disposal to at least make up for the lost physical connection. In this challenging time, funeral chapels have resorted to offering intimate wakes or online funeral services to provide connection despite physical distancing, as a preventive measure against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Digital or e-services such as a novena and online-guestbook via social media platforms have also sprung out, where families and friends of the deceased relive memories and leave messages for the ones in the Great Beyond through the online platform.
