 In order to comply with Federal and State regulations, we currently cannot allow any public visitations or funeral services. All services will be private and   limited to ten or less persons.

* Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands 

* Cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm or inner elbow * Avoid close contact with sick people * Stay home when you are sick or not feeling well 

We are practicing social distancing and encourage you to do the same. We are also implementing additional cleaning measures to our current practices to insure the safety of our associates and guests. 

  If you do want to reach out to the family, please feel free to do so on our guestbook.

Those social gatherings include but are not limited to visitations, funerals, or other memorial events and burial of deceased human remains (whether held at a funeral establishment, church, cemetery or other facility).
