Helping My Sister.

With sadness I help my sister in finding a crematory service for my brother-in-law. I cannot be with them physically but this is something I can help with. Unfortunately the memorial plan of my brother in law cannot be used because he was covid positive. Yes, we got the swab test today and he was positive. My sister just plan to transfer the memorial plan will to one of their children. I am now going to call the crematorium in their city.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. It's good that you can help your sister out at least. Did she get tested? I would think that she should?

Why would covid affect the memorial plan of your brother-in-law?

@rakski I think that is the standard procedure now for covid cases.

That's a terrible news. Sorry about that. Heartfelt condolences for your family and your sister. Covid is so cruel . We can't be with our loved ones in their last time and rites

You need to stay strong. May his soul rest in peace. Was he suffering from any ailment before getting positive for the virus? How old was he,?

yes, it is really saddening. Even us cannot go to my sister to be with them and comfort them. No ailment, just cough and that's it. He was 48
