‘Good morning, good afternoon, good evening’ sounds like an opening line to a comedy gig, but it was my welcome to a Memorial Meeting for Worship on Zoom, for an attender at Sheringham Meeting who died unexpectedly in the autumn. I am the Friend appointed and entrusted by Sheringham Friends to organise funerals and Memorial Meetings for Worship. I wanted to write this article to share how the pandemic has confined us in physical terms, but given us freedom to connect in a virtual space.
