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

Dear Teri,
My deepest sympathy in the earthly loss of your precious mother. May the great comfort of our Saviour Who said “I will not leave you comfortless” be very real to you. She was a faithful, gracious, talented and humble lady. She was also a good cook! Inviting our family of eight for dinner in your home was no small feat, but how we enjoyed her hospitality. Twenty years ago, when things were beginning to get difficult for her in your father’s illness, they still opened their home for Jerry and me to stay overnight on a Richmond visit. You had very dear parents who loved the Lord and were good testimonies for Him. Now they are with Him for ever! God bless you.

Dear Teri, I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. My deepest sympathies are felt for you. She was always so proud of you and often shared with me what Teri was doing as a young woman and approvingly so. I treasured her friendship in the early 70’s when she and your father lived in N. Dallas, TX. and continued our friendship through the years after they moved to Virginia, often corresponding with each other and a few times spoke with her when telephoning. The past couple of years, I knew something had changed after your father had died, and eventually, she did not remember me the last time I called her. But, I will always remember your dear mother, my friend forever, Nancy. We enjoyed time spent together at church, at school ( you and my son, Jensen were in the same class together) and in a scout troupe along with Paul at the time. Our best time was spent studying the Bible together and I invited her to join me in Bible Study Fellowship weekly, enjoying her company riding there and back and often taking time for lunch. She was an inspiration to me, as I saw her homemaking skills, her parenting skills and so enjoyed her music, as she played the piano and could sing beautifully. She was kind, humble and had a smile that could lift anyone’s spirits. I missed her when you moved as a family to Virginia and I missed her all the years we were apart, always hoping to take the time to visit. I will miss her always.
