It can be a difficult time when you have lost a friend or loved one. Planning a funeral can be overwhelming, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. If you are planning a funeral, this information can help you understand the current restrictions in place that will affect funeral arrangements.
To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, the State Government has introduced provisions to prohibit certain activities and specific guidelines for funerals.
Under Phase 4, the number of attendees permitted at a funeral is determined by the 2 square metre social distancing guideline. When arranging the venue, the number of attendees permitted inside the building is determined by the size of the venue reserved for the service. All attendees are required to comply with physical distancing requirements (2 square metres per person).
In practical terms this means that the capacity of the chapel has needed to be adjusted so as to meet the new 2 square metres distancing guideline. Where the number of people attending a funeral exceeds the venue capacity, these people are still able to attend the funeral but must remain in the outdoor gathering spaces.
The State Government has introduced restrictions on travel into Western Australia to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Travelling into Western Australia is prohibited, except in certain circumstances. A person travelling to Western Australia may be exempt from the travel restrictions on compassionate grounds.
For more information on these travel restrictions, visit the WA Government website.
It is important to note that the State Government is making continual changes as the State Emergency unfolds.
We recommend that you visit the State Government’s website to keep up to date with additional changes. Visit the WA Government website.
