The Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) has developed a number of online resources aimed at helping people who may lose loved ones during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis.

In Ireland, funerals are how we celebrate and commemorate those who have died. However, because of the restrictions currently in place, the way in which funerals are being held has radically changed.

"If you're caring for someone who is very sick and are worried they may die, or someone you love has just died, you may have some concerns about what might happen at a funeral during this COVID-19 response period," the IHF said.

It has developed new online resources aimed at helping people in these situations, and is hoping to produce more soon.
