A notice to our families

With the recent concerns of the COVID-19 virus, we want to remind everyone that public health and sanitation is one of the basic foundations of funeral service and, as such, we must be proactive anytime there is even a hint of danger to the public welfare.

At this time, we have not been informed by the local health department of a ban on any gathering for a visitation or a funeral service.  We will certainly adhere to any restrictions offered through our State and National Associations and our Public Health Professionals as we continue to monitor this fluid situation. 

During this uncertain time we want to continue offering the opportunity to celebrate life.  Our mission is to offer families comfort in their time of loss, and provide a platform to honor and celebrate the life of their loved one.  This will continue, but we will be vigilant during this unique time. 

When our staff serves your family we will be emphasizing these guidelines:

• We will emphasize to our families how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as by staying home if you are sick, washing your hands, and covering coughs and sneezes.
• We will continue to practice the same safe hygiene and sanitary procedures in our funeral home that we always have practiced.
• We will also present different ways to express comfort and love and will try and forego the traditional shaking of hands and hugging.

Despite the concerns associated with COVID-19, we have alternatives we can share with our families that will allow them to celebrate the life of their loved one in ways that promote the safety of all involved. 

Sincerely,

The Staff of Woodall-Anderson & Dugger Funeral Home & Cremation Services
