Important Update Regarding COVID-19
Morrissett Funeral and Cremation Service is constantly monitoring the rapid changes of COVID-19 (Corona Virus)
We are following instructions by the Governor of Virginia, The CDC, The National Funeral Directors Association, The Virginia Funeral Directors Association and Regulatory Support Services.
The following outlines the Phase 3 procedure in compliance with the Governor’s current order of 50% capacity.
As of May 15, 2020, Governor Northam has begun to allow some businesses and places of worship and or ceremony to operate at 50% occupancy. We are committed to the families we serve and the communities that support them. We ask that families consider that the type of gatherings they hold to be ever mindful of those who attend, and their health and well-being. We also ask that you refrain from hugging or shaking hands and practice safe social distancing.
What this means for services:
As of May 26, 2020, Governor Northam has put an order in place requiring masks to be worn when in public buildings. In order to protect the vulnerable and high-risk members of the community, it is highly recommended that face masks be worn. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide masks for visitors; please utilize your own. Failure to use a mask while in our establishment will be an assumed release of liability.
All Morrissett Staff will be wearing face masks at all times.
We have placed hand sanitizer and polite reminders throughout the building to assist with cleanliness. We have upgraded the air filters on all of our HVAC systems to promote cleaner air exchange. If you are not in attendance and would like to pass condolences or have your name added to the guest book, please call us and we will assist or utilize the online condolences at Morrissett.com.
Once again, we ask you to practice safe social distancing, and to please not attend if you are ill or at high risk.
Families that maybe in need of our services in the coming weeks, please know that we will care for you and your loved ones with the utmost respect and assist you in the options we feel are safe and that comply with the Governor of Virginia’s limitations and the CDC.
This can mean public or private family services. We promise to work with you as families and your comfort level and desires to honor your loved one.
Please be aware that no coffee, cookies, or cups of water will be available to any guest or families. We will have bottled water available at your request.
As we monitor this ever rapidly changing situation, we will continue to provide updates in regard to the measures we are taking. We appreciate the support and kindness shown during this difficult time. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact us at 804-275-7828 or e-mail to Staff@Morrissett.com

To Dave’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. Dave touched numerous people. in so many positive ways. I met Dave in the mid 90s as the Buick rep. He helped me in so many ways over the years. I will deeply miss him. Prayers for comfort to your family.

Mickey and I are so very saddened by David’s passing. We are remembering so many good times together. He was an amazing person. He always helped any one who needed it. I remember him seeing someone on the side of the road with their car broken down. He would stop and make repairs at no charge. A life well lived!

I am so saddened by Dave’s passing. I was fortunate to meet him in 1997 at Dominion Chevrolet on West Broad Street before they moved to their Short Pump location. I had my car in for repairs and it was because of that incident that I was introduced to Dave. For the past 25 years, I have changed dealerships because my husband and I wanted our vehicles serviced where Dave was located. He was always fair, honest and demonstrated true customer service. I always made it a point to find Dave when our vehicles were being serviced and he became a friend and someone I could count on to make sure things were done right. His standard of customer service was exemplary!! I will certainly miss seeing him at the dealership. Sending my condolences to his family.
