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

Jeff was a great friend for over forty years and I miss him so much! My family adored him and my Dad called him the original MacGyver. He could fix anything and make something out of a pile of nothing. He had the best laugh and was so funny, but what I loved most was his affinity for all creatures and his care for those less fortunate. You raised a fine man and I am a better person to have been able to call him friend. He loved you all dearly and I know is in a better place. My sincere condolences to you all!

Hi Kelly. hopefully you remember me. George and my wife Michelle Humphrey? It’s been a long time and who knows if this will reach you but I just heard about Jeff and I’m so sorry. I also feel terrible about being a stubborn fool. Jeff has been and always will be in memories as a close friend, teacher, confidant, and at the beginning, the best neighbor I ever had. We were very close for years after first meeting him on Mc kay Ave. I now live 4 miles from where we hunted together on Bear Island property in Amelia. I tell stories of going hunting and his determined disposition when it came to finding the right spot. He was always convinced that without paying your dues you wouldn’t get what you were hunting! That included an hour plus hike to a spot scoped since August, staying 8 plus hours, using primitive weapons, killing a ten point buck (Wallhanger), dragging that deer for 6 hours in the dark, and fully processing until finished. Twice! I laugh thinking about drinking in a bar until 2 am. Grabbing 2 hours sleep and hearing that old chevy step side fire up and you better be out there. Hungover and nearly puking from the exhaust leak, ride with him flying down Genito at 4:30am to make the hour plus hike so he could be the stand 30 minutes before daybreak! We connected on many levels with auto mechanics and love/hate of motorcycles and all things that ran. I love to think about some of the trips from my house on Mt. Hermon. Taking the RR tracks and trail beside it for 6 hours until reaching the Appomattox River just because. Spring Gobbler hunting on property near Troy’s house in Skinquarter. It rained all morning and I got lost for 4 hours coming out. Thinking I was gonna have to cross a swamp to figure it out, I heard a faint engine puttering on the other side stop and get quiet. Then a distant voice “Hooty-whooo”. I hollered back and followed that until finally seeing him. After all was done and healing from the seed ticks up to my neck that showed up in the days after and bleeding from briars still didn’t tarnish an encounter with a doe that I couldn’t wait to tell him about. Jeff was a big influence then and really instilled things in me that shapes decisions today. I really miss him and wish I would have tried make an effort to patch things up. Mark Little would update me now and then but they ended becoming estranged as well. My daughter is now 17 and I wish she could have met him and guess I always thought it work out someday. Jeff and I were and I still am stricken with bull headed stubbornness that allowed years to go by without mending. My foolish pride and knowing Jeff could cut you out like a switch and roll on somehow gave credence to the excuse for not extending the olive branch. I know you were a big part of his life in many ways and I’m sorry for your loss. I can still hear that laugh he had. It’s been a few years but I really would appreciate it if you get this to please contact me.
George
