Orientation
Purpose
In this stage, we begin the proceedings and communicate essential information about what is to come, set expectations on how people can participate.
Who facilitator is / relationship to the bereaved
About relating to the people in the room, their relationship to one another
Identify family verbally (and perhaps visually using e.g. Zoom background)
Why we are gathered
Order of service (what’s going to happen)*
How to use the conference technology (e.g. Zoom; ideally this is done by the tech operator)
Welcome and thank people for attending
Mention:
Whether the memorial is private or public
Whether there are plans to create an in-person event when restrictions lifted
Whether the memorial is being recorded (note that video will be captured)
Ideas
Zoom tutorial: The person who gives the zoom tutorial may be someone other than the facilitator /host of the service.
