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

Janice and family – I’m praying for you all as your mourn the loss of Mike. Such a good man, and a great friend of my father, Sonny. I can almost hear them singing together in the heavenly choir… and I look forward to seeing them both again one day. I love you “this much” 🤏🏼 and I pray that our Lord will be with you in the coming days, months, and years.

To Mrs. Janice, and family, you have my sincerest and deepest heart felt condolences on the passing of Mike. I always looked forward to any class that Mike taught at Oak grove BC. He truly was an “Exceptionally Gifted” teacher of God’s Word. I learned a lot about the lord from Mike’s teaching, and by the way he lived his life. I will always cherish the times I was around Mike. May God console you, and may you lean on Him during these trying days. Love, Kirk.

Dear Janice and all the family, I was so sad to hear of Mike’s passing and we are praying that God will comfort you all as you grieve. I believe soon and very soon we will all be together again with all our loved ones who have gone on before and never to be separated again. I love you Jan and your whole family. I still miss your Mom so much and your Dad was such a good man. Our parents were close, maybe we’ll all be neighbors again in Heaven. Mike is there and can you just imagine what joy he is experiencing! What a glorious day it will be one day! Hold on.
Love you.
Pam & Howard
