***** Social Gathering Mandates are at 250 at a time in our building.  Unfortunately, that number decreases with the practice of social distancing inside our funeral home. Please keep that in mind when paying respects to families over the next few weeks. Please know that the public is required to practice self care and social distancing as required by the state, both inside and outside the funeral home, and that masks are recommended. Our Lounge remains closed and no food will be allowed to be brought in for the safety of our families and community.****** 

We thank you for your cooperation.
