The Covid-19 epidemic raging in France and around the world has turned mourning and the funeral rites that accompany it upside down.
The barrier measures - restricted ceremonies, inability to see the body, funerals and burials postponed - as well as the travel restrictions desired by the government obviously complicate the farewell to a loved one, whether or not he is sick with Covid-19.
Paying homage to him after his death is also more difficult.
