[ Singapore, SINGAPORE ] A son carries the portrait of his late father as he enters the viewing gallery at Mandai Crematorium. The late morning sunlight starkly illumines the portrait, yet throws the rest of the gallery into shadow, emphasising the quiet hall as a result of safe distancing measures which limit the number of attending mourners. Makeshift tape markings can be seen on the handrails, which further dictate where mourners may stand. During the height of the Circuit Breaker, only a maximum of 10 persons were allowed during these rites. While recent Phase 3 relaxations now allow 30 persons, it still begs the questions, “Can I be present during the passing of a loved one?”
