Transforming Rituals and Rites of Passage During the Covid-19 Pandemic

How do consumers experience rites of passage when they cannot physically gather during a public health crisis? Using interviews on childbirth, entering adulthood, weddings, and funerals from four countries, we conceptualize transformed rituals that are technology-mediated and that can be reduced or extended with ritual scripts, artifacts, performers, and audiences.
