Résumé

The pandemic has severely affected social cohesion and the traditional landmarks of our fellow citizens. In addition to suffering related to the loss of a loved one, disorganization of the funeral and the experience of confiscation of the funeral deeply affected the psychic life of the bereaved. Despite the adaptation of funeral laws during the pandemic, an anthropological discontinuity has emerged. This anthropological break prevented the dynamic of mourning and burial of COVID-19 deaths, all the while affecting the ritualization of people leaving at the end of life, the orderliness of feelings through funeral rites as well as the resilience of caregivers and families facing an unprecedented wave of deaths. This has resulted in both a pandemic-related mortality and funeral crisis and a human crisis revealed by the COVID-19 viral storm.
