Funeral in Covid 19

My brother died unexpectedly on March 4th
We can only have a small close family funeral and I totally understand
No wake and my other brother can not attend because of his health issues
He will watch it through a live stream on his own 😭
My son does not live with us but is coming
Question is should I let him share car with us
We have all been following strict isolation
The funeral is 40 miles away and my son does not have a car
Please be kind in your answers. I am very sad

If you’re all healthy and risk is low then you should use your common sense and discretion and, if you’re using the funeral director’s card, be guided by them b

Very very sorry for your loss OP. A big loss such as a brother is awful at anytime but even more so now with all this going on. You are in my thoughts Flowers

So sorry for your loss and this awful situation you find yourself in , as suggested above I would ask the funeral director as they will have directives to follow in this situation

I am so sorry you lost your brother. That's so sad. When is the funeral?

Funeral is next week April 2nd
At first they said 25 people could attend but now it is 10 and I’m just worrying they may say no one can attend soon 😭
Will hold a celebration of his life with friends and family after all this is over but dearly want to say a proper good bye to him

I would say don't treat the actual funeral as his proper goodbye, think of it in practical terms. Then plan a wake to hold after all of this is over, where everyone will be able to attend and you can give him a proper send off.
BTW, I know that some funerals are saying direct relatives only, i.e. Parent, child, sibling. In that case, your DS would not be allowed to attend the funeral.
