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

Stacy, we are sorry for the loss your family is going through. Eddie was the guy who always had a wave and smile from the front yard when you went by and a helping hand in times of need. Bill, Larese, Sammie and Cody

Stacy – I am so sorry for your loss. Eddie was a wonderful person and friend. As I’m sure you know, you were all truly blessed to have him in your life. I wish we would have seen more of each other through the years. I know how deeply this will affect you and your family, but you have to treasure the happy memories and reflect on those when you are sad. Eddie was always happy and he would want you all to be that way too. We all love you and wish the best to you and your family. Steve, Kathy, TJ, Colby and Cameron Hood.

My heart goes out to your family for your loss. I rode the school bus with Eddie many years ago. His smile would light up a room. May God comfort you during this time.

What a terrible shock!!! I haven’t seen Eddie since the late 80’s, but what a sweet, special person he was. I remember seeing him run like a gazelle in middle school track. I know w/ all my heart that he is able to run w/ those wings again today! God Bless His Soul and all of his surviving loved ones.
