The health of our client families and our employees has always been a priority; it is even more so today based on the national emergency concerning COVID-19.
Based on the recommendations and guidelines provided by the CDC and the National Funeral Directors Association, we are implementing an action plan that may impose limits on certain requests as they relate to funeral and memorial services.
As always, we will do everything in our power to ensure the life of a loved one is honored and remembered in a dignified manner. Be assured we will handle each family's request individually and will do all we can to maintain a safe and healthy environment.
Please continue to follow the guidelines outlined by medical professionals and if you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact us.
In addition, we have provided some helpful grief support links below:
