“…In addition to complicated grieving experiences, bereaved families have also been deprived of the simple practices that would traditionally bring comfort during a time of mourning, such as physical touch with loved ones (Goveas & Shear, 2020; Petry et al, 2020; Shoji & Matsue, 2020). These challenges are compounded by the broader social isolation and psychological distress that characterize the COVID-19 pandemic (Evans et al, 2020; Goveas & Shear, 2020).…”

“…The reviewed literature often described how virtual funerals have emerged as a necessary consequence of gathering restrictions and physical distancing limitations (Aleccia, 2020; Booth, 2020; Burrell & Selman, 2020; Johns et al, 2020; Lowe et al, 2020; Shoji & Matsue, 2020). Guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) (2020b) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2020) emphasized the need for restrictions on the size of all gatherings, including funerals, to minimize the spread of COVID-19 (WHO, 2020b; CDC, 2021).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and physical distancing limitations have had a profound impact on funeral practices and associated grieving processes. The purpose of the present scoping review is to summarize the existing literature on the emerging use of virtual funerals. Five medical databases, five social science databases, and five grey literature databases were searched, identifying 1,351 titles and abstracts, of which 62 met inclusion criteria. Four themes, each with various subthemes emerged: (a) Impact of virtual funerals on coping with death; (b) Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the funeral industry; (c) Benefits and disadvantages of virtual funerals; and (d) Future implications for health and social work practitioners. Virtual funerals are an evolving resource for individuals, families, and communities to mourn in response to the interruptions to traditional grieving practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…online services, worship playlists on Spotify, or meditation apps). This means that there is a paradigm shift from classic to modern spirituality (Shoji & Matsue, 2020). In a popular discussion, Indick (2015) described that technology influences our cognitive and emotional mechanisms and thus inevitably changes our relationship to spirituality.…”

PurposeThere is evidence that spirituality at the workplace has positive effects on work outcomes, and there are different models conceptualizing the construct. To date, there is no discussion highlighting how digitalization is affecting workplace spirituality and vice versa. The present review tries to close this gap by discussing the psychological dynamics in light of digitalization and spirituality in the context of work.Design/methodology/approachThis is a conceptual discussion based on an extensive narrative review. The conceptual design is further tested with a real-life case study.FindingsThe result is a model that may guide future research, which consists of the four highly interdependent domains, namely psychology (with the dimensions of emotion, cognition and behavior), digitalization (with the dimensions of platforms, data and algorithms), spirituality (with the dimensions of meaning, self-transcendation and belonging), as well as the workplace (with the dimensions of work tasks, location, community and culture and values). The discussion includes implications for the future of work, suggestions for management decisions and potential future research directions.Originality/valueTo date, there are many discussions about digital transformation and a limited amount of them have invested in analyzing psychological dimensions. The application to spirituality and the workplace – especially when the two are combined – is almost wholly absent, which makes the present discussion both innovative and original.
