If you are not able to attend the funeral or memorial service of someone in person, this does not mean that you cannot get the benefits of closure. You can still do so by attending the service virtually. Most funeral homes these days offer virtual services, especially after the pandemic, so it can be important to ask if this is a possibility. If you do want to attend a livestreamed service, there are some etiquette tips you want to remember. Here are the things that directors of funeral homes Post Falls, ID want you to know. 


One of the things that you want to remember is that you want to dress appropriately for the service. Even if you are not attending in person, it does not mean that you can wear whatever you want. You want to avoid anything casual or revealing and you also want to avoid anything that can distract other people who are attending the service virtually. Wear more conservative clothes and choose colors that are somber. If you would feel comfortable wearing the outfit to the service in person, you can wear it virtually. 


You want to set up before the service begins. You do not want to be scrambling to make arrangements at the last minute. If you have to download the platform on which the service takes place, you want to do so a few hours before the service begins. If you are not sure how to set up for this, you can reach out to the funeral home who can offer support. 


Before the service begins, mute the microphone. If there are other people who will be attending the service virtually, you do not want to bother them with background noises. You also want to check microphone levels, so that if you do want to speak during the service, the volume levels are correct. 


Another thing that you want to remember is to turn your camera on. You do not want other people who are attending virtually to feel isolated and on their own, you want to turn the camera on. This can go a long way to providing a community feeling and offering people comfort. 


If you have never attended a virtual service before, these are all things that you want to remember. Do dress appropriately and do set up before the service starts. You do not want to struggle with setting up and you also do not want to worry about any background noises, so you need to turn your microphone to mute before the service begins. It can be important to remember all of this. You can learn more by contacting a Post Falls, ID funeral home like us.
