Wise Family Funeral Home Addresses Gatherings of 10 or More

Share

Good Morning, as we are all aware, we are facing a challenging time.  After many calls I thought I would address this topic.  The health and safety of our Families and communities is our highest priority.  First and foremost, it is important to us that you know our promise to support you and your family continues to stand firm. We will still provide the same level of Service, Compassion, and Remembrance for your loved one.  While we are all navigating an unprecedented situation.  We have been diligently and proactively taking the necessary steps to remain in a position to serve you.   

As we learn more of this pandemic the best option is to try to stop the spread of the virus.  One of the best ways is social distancing.  In accordance with the recommendations and guidelines of the Center for Disease Control and World Health Organization (WHO).  They have now implemented all gatherings of ten (10) or more should be canceled, and/or only conducted with a limit of ten (10) or less people. Viewings will only be conducted on bodies that have been embalmed and will only be permissive with ten (10) or less people. Even death that occurred from the coronavirus can be embalmed and have a viewing.  Graveside services should be private and conducted with ten (10) or less people. This information is subject to change per recommendations by the Federal Government and CDC.  These implemented directives are to comply with current recommendations by the Federal Government and the CDC. Indeed, our compliance with these directives is to keep your families safe, as well as our staff.

            We will do our part as well.  To help save lives and slow the spread of this virus, effective immediately we will abide by and conform to the guidelines and recommendations.    After they lift these sanctions and recommendations, we will be able to hold public services or celebration of Life events for those who died during this event.  We will remain calm, steadfast and will meet these challenges together. We are also working on some other options to be available to our families and also all of you.  We are still here and committed to serve you and provide the same level of compassion and dignified service. 

Please call we will be happy to sign your name in the book or leave a condolence for the family.  Our Website offers a place to leave condolences and watch video tributes. We understand that this could be an inconvenience for some, but we will do our best to protect the families we serve and also the public as we endure these challenging times.  We wish each and every one of you only the best, may God Bless all of you.

From all of us here at

Wise Family Funeral Home, Jeremy and Christa Wise and family
