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

Fly high Mom with all your loved ones who have preceded you in death, including all the dogs. Peace, a dog I met at Morrissett’s is a wonderful, older Chocolate Lab brings a smile to my face and any dog lover that is going through the death of a loved one. You know me and my love of dogs and they are what keep me sane. Rugby sends his love and misses you petting him and thanks you for asking about him every time I saw you. Thank you for being there for all of us🥰

Margaret I will miss your strong character, love of family and most of all getting to know what an interesting life life you and your husband Ken had together, from Elkins, W.

I had the honor & privilege of playing her favorite Frank Sinatra song ” I did it my way” shortly before her passing to join her beloved Ken in heaven love & miss you

I’m grateful for the memories of visits and the way she always made the kids feel so loved. I’ll especially remember her thoughtful birthday cards that meant so much year after year. She will be missed!

I will always remember Grandma aka Great Grandma Tingles for her kindness and how she was always willing to help anyone. Around Christmas, she would call me and we’d sit together with the Toys “R” Us catalog, going page by page talking about what I wanted—it’s one of my favorite memories. She was spunky, full of laughter, and she never missed a chance to remind us how much she loved watching Norrin run laps around her apartment.
I am so thankful she was able to meet her newest grandson, Meyen, last year and be surrounded by all of us. She never let a holiday go by without sending greeting cards, always making sure we felt remembered. Her support was constant, and she loved having everyone together for meals and family time.
Grandma’s laughter, love, and warmth will stay with me forever. She truly made life brighter for everyone around her, and I am grateful for every moment we had together.
