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

Love this man. Always made me and my family laugh as we grew up. All his practical jokes he played on us. One was dialing for dollars. Lol. The best personality you could ask for. And a great insurance agent. Really missed him there. He was a friend of my dads for years and we loved him and Becky and privileged to have them in our lives growing up!! God got a good one!!
God bless you and comfort you Becky and family. Love always, Cindy Royster

Thinking of the family during this time and praying comfort and strength for all. I feel I have known Doug most of my life and all of my memories involved smiles, laughter and practical jokes. I never saw this man without a smile, and I never had an encounter with him that didn’t involve laughing. He and my dad worked together for many years, and thankfully the friendship lasted even longer❣️Rest In Peace Dear Friend. ❤️❤️❤️

So sorry to hear about Doug’s passing. I knew him from Bainbridge and John Marshall,
and not sure, but we may have gone to Summer Hill together?
A story I have related over the years about Doug:
While at Bainbridge, Doug played on the basketball team with me. The team got together one day, and decided we would all get a very, very short haircut. Danny Sprouse, another team member, had a grandfather who ran a barber shop on Hull Street, so we all went down to get the deed done. At the time, Doug had beautiful curly locks, and with each pass of the clippers, the more locks fell to the floor. Doug finally couldn’t hold back his emotions, and started to cry saying he didn’t know what his mom was going to do to him when he got home for having all his hair cut off! I guess, since the rest of us had hair, but not as nice as Doug’s, we didn’t have to worry so much about parental repercussions??
Doug was a great guy, and a friend to all of us.
I’ve always felt that we all lived a ‘life puzzle’ that was held together by pieces of our family, friends, and others. Whenever one of these family, friends, etc. passes, they take a piece of us with them. Since I learned of Doug’s passing, I know a piece of my Life’s Puzzle will now be forever missing… May God have a special place at his table for him.
I know his family will miss him dearly.
