What are the reasons for the epidemic in the funeral industry?

In the golden autumn of September, who would have thought that the epidemic would strike again, and with extreme ferocity. What impact will the current epidemic have on the funeral industry? As a practitioner in the funeral industry, let me analyze this issue from a professional perspective.

First of all, during the current epidemic, there is a saying that is often mentioned, happy events should be postponed and funerals should be kept simple. Since ancient times, China has regarded the deceased as the most important person. Therefore, funerals cannot be postponed, but due to the epidemic, they cannot be held in a grand manner. Generally speaking, it means that a small-scale farewell ceremony is allowed, and only immediate family members are invited to participate. In addition, the farewell halls of many funeral homes have been temporarily closed, mainly to prevent people from gathering.

Secondly, let’s talk about sacrificial sweeping. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, no matter whether it is Qingming Festival, Hungry Ghost Festival, or Hanyi Festival, famous sacrifice sweeping, proxy sweeping, and cloud sacrifice sweeping have been encouraged. Especially during the Qingming Festival, you need to make an appointment in advance to go to the cemetery.

Next, let’s talk about funeral stores. You need to scan the QR code to register when you go to the funeral store. When shipping from the online mall, you also need to carry out unified disinfection work.

Finally, let’s talk about choosing a tomb. If the cemetery is in a medium or high risk area, it is strictly prohibited to visit. Of course, if you live in a medium- to high-risk area, going to the cemetery is also prohibited. Many cemeteries also require an appointment in advance to select a tomb, and you must present an accounting test certificate after arriving at the cemetery.

After talking about the funeral industry, let’s talk about the funeral workers.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, all employees of Shanwei have been working in strict accordance with the epidemic prevention standards, and some departments are even stricter than the epidemic prevention standards.

Employees in funeral departments, fleet personnel, funeral supplies sales and other positions are required to undergo nucleic acid testing every day, while other positions are required to undergo nucleic acid testing within the prescribed time for epidemic prevention, and the results are reported every day.

Carry out disinfection work on time. Whether it is a store, warehouse, office or related vehicle, professional disinfection is carried out multiple times a day to ensure the safety of the working environment.

Strictly follow the instructions for entering and exiting Beijing. Regardless of business or personal reasons, you need to report when entering or leaving Kyoto and complete a nucleic acid test within the specified time.

Shanwei employees are never afraid of trouble, adjust their mentality, and put epidemic prevention in an important position, just to make customers feel at ease. After all, epidemic prevention is no small matter and must start with everyone.
