I have included some ideas to pay tribute to your loved one below. 
If you would like some support, 
I am here to offer guidance, help or officiating via skype, phone, zoom or FaceTime, for those that want to pay tribute and celebrate their loved one.

During Level 4 lockdown,
the following services are not operating: 

o Chapel services 
o Graveside services 
o Cremation charge viewings 
o Collection of ashes – there is no public collection of ashes.

Remember restrictions will be lifted and gatherings will be possible at a later date. 
There are still some things you could choose to do to honour and farewell your loved one. Some of the following ideas might be helpful at this time. 

Connecting on the internet for a tribute 

Picture
Technology nowadays means you can connect through the internet. FaceTime, Skype and Zoom are just a few good options.
Zoom allows a large group of people to see each other easily for up to 40 minutes with the free account.  Each household can connect and and see other each other for support.
For more information on what to do when a loved ones dies during Level Four you can  download a brochure from funeral directions association of NZ

Bringing it all together for tribute

You can create your tribute anyway you wish.                        
  • ​OPENING                                      This could be a song, prayer, hymn or reading/poem that the person whose life you are remembering enjoyed. You can sing yourselves altogether  or play music from a device. 
  • LIFE STORY and MEMORIES                     Have a nominated person/s to share the events, milestones, achievements of your loved one.  
  • SHARE PHOTO'S, SPECIAL TRINKETS AND DRAWINGS                            Young ones can draw a favourite memory or picture to feel involved. Each person can take turns to hold the photo/s, pictures or cellphone with the picture up to the screen for everyone to see.  You may wish to play a favourite song of your loved one or have people talk about the memory/picture.  You have have had people create something in their memory ie: A mandala (as shown) and this could be shown during the time. 
  • CLOSING                                          There are many options you could consider to the final part of the tribute. You may finish with a poem, reading or song.  Pour a cup of tea and enjoy their favourite bikkie or slice. Have a toast altogether with their favourite drink. 
  • FINAL WORDS                             That last sentence  can often be the hardest to find the right words.  You may wish to do something symbolic like blow out a candle, bow, pray or have a minute silence.
