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

Momma, you have been a joy in my, Ashlyn’s and Skye’s life. I have known you since Skye was 11 months old and she is now 21. Ashlyn loves and misses her grandma. You were a rock for your son’s Lawrence (Bumpkin Ashlyn’s Father), Daniel (Sug), and Joe. Whatever they needed you made sure you got it and it never mattered what you had to do or go through to make sure they was always taken care of. You always kept your word and meant every word you said. You helped many people within the community. When someone was down and out you was always there for them no matter what. You were also a mother figure to many people. Your love for butterflies and birds was passed down to Ashlyn. You were a cornerstone in the bars as a bartender. If people walked into a bar you were working at and if it was your day off or if for some reason you weren’t there, they would always ask if you were coming in and if not then they would walk out and go somewhere else. Your love of music and singing was also passed down to Ashlyn. You could sing so beautifully. People would just come in to the bars on karaoke night to just hear you sing. Ashlyn is in band and marching band playing the clarinet and she sings in the choir. Ashlyn definitely has a set of beautiful singing lungs on her as you did. Thank you for all your love to Ashlyn, Skye and I. We will truly miss you. Your memory will live on through your son’s, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Go rest high on that mountain and sing and be the beautiful angel you are. We know you’re watching down on your son’s, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We love you.
