There are many things that have changed these past couple of years, and one of them is the kind of funeral and memorial services people choose. More and more people are opting for virtual services and this can be something that may be stressful for people who have never taken part in one before. If you have been invited to a virtual service but are not sure about what to expect or what will be expected of you, there are some things that directors of funeral homes in Northeast Philadelphia, PA<\/a> want you to remember.<\/p>\n

You will want to let the person who invited you know that you will attend. This is important but it can be something people forget to do. Planning a virtual service can be logistically difficult and the person in charge will need to know how many people will actually attend so that they can plan for time for eulogies and the like. A simple message telling them whether you will be there or not can help.<\/p>\n

You need to download or install the platform on which the service will take place at least a day before. This will ensure that you get a chance to use it and learn how it operates. You do not want to leave this to the last minute, since that can cause problems on the day of the service.<\/p>\n

Even though the service is virtual, you still want to dress like you would for a regular service. You want to wear somber colors and nothing that will draw too much attention away from the service. You want to be certain that you do not wear anything too casual or too revealing. If you would wear it to a regular service, you can wear it to a virtual one.<\/p>\n

Do not be late. People can sometimes things that it does not matter as much if you are attending a virtual service, but it can bother other guests. If you are afraid of forgetting when the service starts, you can set up some kind of alert or alarm to help you. This is something that is important.<\/p>\n

Mute your microphone before the service starts. Computer mikes can pick up a lot of sounds and noises and you do not want to have that bothering other people. Unless you are giving a eulogy, keep the mike muted.<\/p>\n
