According to Fredrik Blomberg, who is a funeral counselor and runs a funeral home in Norrköping and Finspång, the exception comes as a relief for many relatives.
- Different congregations had different rules during the spring.
Norrköping's pastorate, for example, had a 10 limit on people present.
If you compare with the 20 limit, it is a big increase.
It is now positive that all congregations set roughly the same limit.
In the past, it was confusing for people, he tells SVT Nyheter Öst.
The second wave is noticeable
Right now, Sweden is in a second wave of covid-19 - something that has also begun to be felt at the funeral home.
- Last week we started getting funeral assignments with people who died in the corona again, so now it shows.
But compared to the first wave, many are more aware of how to think now and what to take into account, says Fredrik Blomberg.
