# A person who is no going to be involved in the burial anymore because the deceased was given to the chevra kaddisha then he is not considered an [[Onen]] anymore and should begin [[Avelut]] (mourning). However, if he is going to call relatives to tell them about the levaya then he is still an [[Onen]].<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/951535/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-23-temporary-burial-in-chu-l-and-issues-of-aveilus/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona #23)]</ref>. If he is going to watch the burial with Zoom or listen on the phone it is unclear if he is still an Onen.<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/951535/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-23-temporary-burial-in-chu-l-and-issues-of-aveilus/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona #23)] isn't certain if a person involved in the burial merely because he is watching via Zoom is still considered an Onen.

# On [[Erev Pesach]] if someone is buried before [[Chatzot]] (midday) the relatives should observe [[Avelut]] (mourning) before Chatzot and then at Chatzot it is considered like a Yom Tov and the rest of the [[Shiva]] is cancelled. If the person is buried after [[Chatzot]] they should observe Avelut before Yom Tov and then the Yom Tov will come and cancel the rest of [[Shiva]].<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/951535/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-23-temporary-burial-in-chu-l-and-issues-of-aveilus/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona #23)]</ref> | |||
