Number of people attending a funeral during the lockdown

The regulations on the lockdown of the country determine that the number of people attending a funeral is limited to 50 and that no night vigil may be held. The local council may also issue by-laws allowing less than 50 people. It is the responsibility of the family to keep the number of people below the allowed number. No deceased may be taken to the home for a night vigil.

Further to this, AVBOB will keep record of all people attending a funeral service in our chapels by recording the name, surname and contact number. This will assist in tracking the individuals in case one of the guests tests positive at a later stage
