COVID-19
Virus Protocol
With
the ongoing situation with the state of emergency
declared by the Federal government, we are making
changes to protect the families we serve, the
public and our staff.
We
ask that if you are not feeling well, have a cough
or fever or have been travelling outside of the
United States, to remain at home. Condolence
messages to the family can be left using Facebook
or Legacy.com. Arrangement
conferences can take place over the phone.
We
have enhanced safety measures in place such as
continuous spot cleaning and the removal of any
items that come in constant contact with the
public.
We
realize that despite the current challenges with
the COVID-19 virus families still need and
deserve support. We encourage everyone to talk
to people impacted by the loss of a loved one
over the phone, or by text, or Facetime or Skype.
Old fashioned letter writing to share memories
and express feelings, and offer condolences are
always appreciated. For those who cannot leave
their homes, we suggest doing something as
simple as lighting a candle in their loved
one’s honor.
We
remain optimistic that these conditions will
only last for a short term with your continued
support. We will keep you updated as we receive
new directions from the Federal government and
the Bereavement Authority
Our
goal is the safety of families needing our
services, as well as the safety of our staff, so
there will be no exceptions to the rulings we
follow. Please keep a safe distance of six feet
from one individual to the other, and avoid
personal contact such as handshaking, kissing and
hugging.
Persons
that are under self imposed or mandatory
quarantine, are asked to please not enter the
building. If in the unlikely event, a loss has
occurred as a result of COVD-19, we are equipped
and prepared to respond and to care for the loved
one that has passed. using, universal proper
precautions.
For
the family member(s) making the arrangements, and
if they are under quarantine, we are able to
satisfactorily address and complete funeral
arrangements remotely by phone, or other internet
based multi media.
These
are difficult and trying times. We are confident
that we will positively overcome this challenge as
we have done so with past challenges our Village
has faced.
We
thank you for your understanding & hope
to believe there are better days ahead. God bless
us and keep safe.
