Evarts Funeral Home in Harlan County is going to use Facebook Live to stream funeral services of loved ones.

The funeral home decided to use Facebook Live to help follow the mandates from Governor Andy Beshear due to COVID-19.

The mandates allow for immediate family members or those listed in an obituary to attend a funeral service in person.

The funeral home wanted something to be able to help families grieve, and allow the community to be able to participate with the funerals. Facebook Live can be used as a virtual receiving of friends.

The funeral home will only use Facebook Live if the family wants to.
