[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A close member of my extended family will likely pass very soon (extended illness, DNR).  The immediate family would like to have an indoor ceremony for her.  Family would be driving/flying from all over, including some from hotspots.  S[b]ome are Trump supporters[/b], and even those who are not may not adhere to wearing a mask the whole time.  My family has been eating at restaurants indoors, etc. recently in their area, so I think they probably consider an hour ceremony to be no big deal.

Has anyone attended a funeral since the pandemic began?  I'm torn because I want to support my family, but also don't want to attend an indoor ceremony.  I'm not high risk, but don't want to risk getting it or passing it to my immediate family.  What have others' funeral experiences been like recently?  Did you comply with the family's wishes, or make some changes to protect yourself?[/quote]

What on earth does Trump have to do with this question?[/quote]m

Ask OP! Read her original post. She’s implying her Trumpster relatives don’t care about safety or community spread, and thus won’t understand if she does not go.

She just couldn’t help herself.  She looks down on these relatives as lesser beings who couldn’t possibly have the decency and self control to wear a mask.

OP - Churches have mask and social distancing requirements and shouldn’t be letting attendees create an unsafe environment.  If you go and it turns out to be uncomfortable for you, just leave.[/quote]
