Dunedin woman Sue Walthert, who has now had to cancel two memorial services since her mother died last year, says it has not stopped her from grieving or celebrating her mother’s life. Since her mother, Una Divett (99), died in February last year, she has had to cancel her memorial service twice as a result of Covid-19. The first attempt to hold a memorial service for her, which family from Austria and Australia were meant to attend, was in May last year. Campbell & Sons Funeral Services owner Clark Campbell said they had been "lucky" and none of their services had been impacted by the restrictions. However, that could change if Alert Level 2 was extended past tomorrow, he said.
