I’m so sorry @whitewave ,to lose a child is devastating. Sending prayers to you and his family.
How is your health now, whitewave? I do not want to interrupt this thread, but I do not know if you are updating any other thread about yourself. I hope you are taking care of yourself.

I’m weighing the pros and cons of going to the funeral plus I have to check state mandates. I don’t think it’s a good idea to go. I want to, though.
I think he would want others to stay home and take the virus as serious as possible. I know sometimes you're so close with somebody that it'd be near to impossible to miss but for some we're talking about life or death and the stakes are high.
Maybe they could hire someone to stream the funeral services on a private invite-only platform?
& Surely they understand why many won't be attending as coming risks dying from the very thing that killed this poor boy and is the reason for the funeral after all.
Exactly, and his family can likely get it again, so everyone is at risk again.
I can always go visit them after this pandemic is over (if it ever will be).

Please stay home. Staying home is, in its own way, a show of respect. You are respecting the awful power that took David's life. Of course you can send flowers and also bake something. That is what we do. But I am sure you have enough life experience to know that the family will need you far more after the first wave of support for them has passed. The loneliness sets in when other people start to get used to your loss...but you never can and never will. Stay healthy so you can be the family's friend in six months.
Hugs,
