If an inmate loses a family member, they may not be able to attend the funeral. Learn how Compassionate Reprieve offers virtual funeral options for inmates.
What to Do If an Inmate Loses a Family Member: Funeral Options
When an inmate loses a close family member, it’s hard for them to be away from home. Most prisons don’t allow inmates to leave for funerals, but there are other options to help them participate.
Can Inmates Attend Funerals?
While some prisons allow it under strict conditions, most do not. However, virtual funeral services are becoming more common. Compassionate Reprieve offers a secure way for inmates to watch their loved one’s funeral live.
How to Set Up a Virtual Funeral
Contact us at Compassionate Reprieve, and we’ll work with the funeral home and prison to set up the stream. This way, inmates can be a part of the service without leaving the facility.
