And in the several churches vary the allowed number according to the priest who conducts the ceremony, tells several funeral services to the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
One of them is the funeral director Lars Kingo, who demand the identical guidelines in this area.

the Vicar in Solution Church, Sune Shield Skarsholm, is one of the pastors, who allows more than ten persons to the funeral services. He believes that it is more important that the relatives are allowed to take leave, than to the risk of infection is eliminated completely.
– People render the in the grocery Store and in diy stores in a big way, so it would be grotesque, if not, people had to meet and be together in sorrow, he says to the newspaper.
