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

With love and fond memories for my “Asawa ko” Brian
I met Brian through Facebook in 2014 while i was still working in Bahrain as a nurse. We said our “Hi’s” and “ How are you’s”. Later on we exchange messages everyday . We talked, we laughed ,we encourage and lift up each other and fell in love.
He loved to tell me stories about his family ,work, funny and silly random stories. At times when I was stressed with work he would calm me down and just soothe me with his stories until i fall asleep. He was the sweetest , kindest ,thoughtful and loving person I’ve known.
In 2016 we finally met each other in person in the Philippines .I cannot forget that day when i fetched him in the airport .I was so nervous and excited. He just swept me off my feet and hug me tightly. We cannot stop staring at each other just to make sure it’s real and we are not dreaming.
One day i woke up from my nap and he was not by my side. I was calling and looking for him everywhere. I waited and was so worried ,then there was a knock from the door .It was Brian bringing pork barbecue in the sticks ,hanging rice and young coconut juice. He was grinning sheepishly ,he said he wanted to surprise me.
We spent the rest of the days, meeting and visiting my family and relatives which they prepare a feast for Brian. Going to places enjoying each other’s company, visiting old churches and museums.
When the time came to say goodbye ,it was the hardest and saddest. We just cuddled and cried and promised each other that we will see each other again and we will never be far apart. We planned we dreamed , but due to circumstances it prevented us to do so. But we prayed and did not lose hope.
You were gone before i knew it and only God knows why. If love alone could have saved you Brian, you never would have died. God’s grace ,love and forgiveness saves you. Rest in peace my love .In my heart is where your story lives. I love you and missed you so much.
Loving you forever,
Aimee

Brian, the news of your passing has sent ripples throughout our world. You had just reached days before to tell me to be safe during the ice storm damage. You have always been so thoughtful. Thank you for being the nucleus of many friendships. Rest easy.
