I have noticed more and more people not having a traditional funeral. It
seems that the need to wait or plan something very small during the
worst of Covid empowered people to step away from traditions. I
frequently see now “service to be held later” or “family grieving
privately.” It seems positive to me for people to realize that they do
not have to buy into spending a fortune unless they want to.

My family always had funny funerals because that's just the way we are, so I haven't noticed any new traditions.

It's true, Covid seems to have shifted how we approach funerals. Many are opting for simpler or delayed services, which can be more manageable emotionally and financially. It's empowering to see people making choices that fit their needs without feeling pressured by tradition or costs. If you're navigating these changes, checking the FTC funeral rules can clarify your rights and options.
