*Due to the growing concern regarding the COVID-19 outbreak there are new guidelines in place that will alter the way we conduct funeral services. At this time, visitations may not include any more than 10 people inside of the building, including our staff. Unfortunately, we are unable to allow other family to come into the building, as some others leave in an attempt to circumvent the 10 person limit. It is with our deepest regrets that we inform you of this, however, the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association believes that this is the best course of action in dealing with the containment of transmission. As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these new and uncertain times together.*
