Why are online funerals popular in South Africa?

In South Africa many people are now following funeral proceedings via online streaming from their offices and homes due in part to the restrictions on numbers allowed to attend indoor gatherings during the Covid-19 pandemic.The streaming not only enables people from all over the world to follow the funeral, it also allows them to participate by giving them a chance to pay tribute to the deceased on the various online platforms.
