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

Edna, will always be remembered as the sweetest, kindest, and loving aunt to me. I enjoyed childhood visits to her home and the delicious meals she would prepare. Our deepest simpathy goes out to Carolyn, Kathy and Family. May your faith give you strength through this time.

Carolyn and Kathy,
My deepest symapathy and love in the passing of your Mom. She was more than DEVOTED to care for her Mom and Jeff everytime you all came here for a visit.
I told Mom(Flossie) this morning about her passing and she indeed was sad. She loved Edna very much! My Daddy(Pete) (passed Jan 3, 07) also thought so very much of Edna and always enjoyed her visits with he and Mom. (We buried Daddy on my 55th birthday-but-though grief stricken–with prayer of others –I was able to speak at his funeral)-my words were intitled–Thank you, Daddy)
Please know you are both in my prayers during this time. I have printed the obituary and will give it to Mom tomorrow. She had dinner with us tonight–but–ready to go back down to her house after dinner. I have a home on the hill above her–can see road–but–high up!
my thoughts and love,
Louise Flynn Robinson

No matter how you knew Edna, you knew that she was one of the finest, kindest, most loving women you would ever know. Ben and I feel honored to have known her and to have enjoyed her warm and wonderful personality. She was an unbelievable cook and we all looked forward to her delectable dishes and family get-together’s.
We feel fortunate to have share time with Edna and her wonderful family these past years and could not feel more deeply towards or respect anyone more than we do.
We will always fondly think of Edna and find comfort knowing that she undoubtedly lived her life the way in which she wanted… a devoted wife and loving mother. She passed away knowing the strong love and devotion of her family.
We send heart felt condolences to her family and to all that loved her for the great loss of such a fine person.
With much love,
Rose and Ben Arthur
