The sociological perspective is significantly revealing about the phenomena that influence the everyday decisions of people and the resulting changes in the aspects of their life. As such, such services as funerals might be heavily influenced by the preceding divorce in the life of a deceased. The possible influence that such a happening can cause is that the deceased’s ex-spouse would tend to spend less money on the person who entered into conflict with them. Apparently, the emotional part of regret for the death of a loved one would be lessened because of the lesser attachment of the couple. Moreover, if there is some valuable heritage, the ex-spouse might be interested in their part and argue with the relatives of the deceased about it. Thus, the divorce before the funeral of a person complicates the process and services because of the emotional and legal differences.
COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on every sphere of life for the modern person, including family life. Different types of families might be affected differently since they have contrasting economic statuses and resources. I believe that the childless family type is the least affected by the pandemic for several reasons. First, such families should support only adult people, which makes it easier for them in an economic sense. Moreover, adults can better withstand the lack of socializing, while children are more upset and cause stress among all family members. In turn, the worst effect might be caused by single-parent families. Traditionally, such families have difficulties in coping with economic crises and emotional breakdowns on the part of the parents. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic can cause an even worse situation for these people and imbalance their families.
