Virtual Wake

5 de April de 2023 1 min read

In a world where technology brings people together, the virtual wake is an alternative that can provide connection and support, allowing everyone to be comforted during the farewell of a loved one.

What is a virtual wake

A virtual wake is a live broadcast that takes place during the farewell ceremony for someone. Through this technology, family, friends, and acquaintances who cannot attend the ceremony in person connect to pay tribute to the deceased and offer emotional support to the grieving.

How a virtual wake works

The grieving family should contact the cemetery, crematorium, or funeral home administration and request the live broadcast. Hundreds of companies already offer virtual wakes through the Adiaŭ platform, enabling the ceremony to be transmitted with total quality and security. Generally, the broadcast follows the timing and format of a traditional wake, but the family has the option to choose and define the start and end of the transmission. During the virtual wake, participants have the opportunity to send messages and memories that can be shared in person.

Why attend a virtual wake?

Conducting a virtual wake can be important for a grieving family member who, in situations such as distance or health restrictions, finds it difficult or impossible to attend a ceremony in person.

Allowing virtual transmission is extremely significant as it strengthens family ties, aids in the grieving process, and enables the grieving individual to deal with their own emotions.

How to invite people to a virtual wake

The invitation should be respectful and careful, demonstrating sensitivity due to the delicate and emotional moment.

Through a clear message with the necessary details, it is important for the invitation to be made personally, through WhatsApp, phone, or text message.

Participating in a virtual wake will never replace an in-person ceremony; however, this tool provides a valuable alternative in emotionally challenging situations where people cannot attend in person. It allows grieving families to maintain connections, express their grief, and honor their loved ones in a safe and meaningful way. This modern option makes it possible to celebrate the life of a loved one, even in difficult circumstances.
