| Abstract: |
As part of the international research programme 'Funeral Worlds, Bereaved Persons and COVID-19' analysing the impact of the pandemic on funeral practices and the experience of bereavement in France, Switzerland and Italy through an ethnographic and comparative approach with bereaved persons as well as professionals from the world of health, mortuary and funeral services, we present in this article the results of a complementary quantitative study. A questionnaire administered to 824 people who lost a loved one between March 2020 and March 2021 in the canton of Geneva (Switzerland) allowed us to refine a hypothetical causality between 'affected funeral practices' and 'hindered bereavement'. Three main results are detailed and discussed: the moderating effect of negotiated restrictions, the interdependence of a set of factors explaining how various restrictions influenced the separation experience, and socio-demographic effects.
