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

I am deeply saddened to learn of Donna’s death. Though we haven’t seen each other in years, she and I were best friends for much of our growing up. She was my confidante, my buddy in mischief, my kindred spirit. We had secret names for each other; our teachers teased us about being joined at the hip. Oh, we squabbled, were jealous of one another and had frequent falling outs, but we were always linked. She helped me become who I am.
And her mother and father and sisters – “the Call girls” – a family so different from my own – also taught me a lot about navigating life and the strength of love. As I’ve gotten older myself, I have often thought of the courage and perseverance her mother and father possessed to overcome injury and illness and to provide for their children.
I was also saddened to learn that Becky and Butch are no longer alive.
My heart goes out to all of the family with sincere condolences.

I was very saddened to hear of Donna’s passing. Thought It has been years since I had seen her, I thought of her and the family often . I remember coming over to visit the family when I was young
Donna , Becky and I had a wonderful time playing
Out back in the shed , and climbing the Big Mamosa tree in the front yard, it smelt lick peaches. I miss the good old days ,when we all had time to visit , and take time for family times.
Donna was so awesome to hang out with . I am truly sorry to hear of her passing. The entire family , always had an open home very inviting , filled with Love and Joy. My condolences, and Love goes it to the Family. May God Bless you all.
May God help you through this difficult time

Donna has been on my mind for months. Contacting her stayed on my To Do list, though I obviously did not. She and I were friends in eighth grade and she was always kind to me. As I was not one of the “cool kids”, this was especially important! My family moved after that year but I have never forgotten sweet Donna. You will remain in my prayers.

I’m so so sorry to hear about Donna. While I was her Realtor,a few years ago, we stayed in touch, and she was always sending me funny comments, or something related to my love of dogs, and Golden Retrievers. I loved working with her, and her sense of humor. Keeping the family in our prayers
