We are doing our best to schedule time between appointments to accommodate the CDC’s recommendation of social distancing.

We will, whenever possible, perform the services that you request for your loved one; however, there could be circumstances that are out of our control which will hinder some requests. We are already experiencing rescheduling and cancellation issues with cemeteries, churches, caterers, etc. If you are planning to attend a service that has previously been scheduled please call to confirm that it has not been cancelled or rescheduled. We will handle all issues presented to us as this situation unfolds.
