You Can Feel Safe Going to a Funeral Home Despite COVID-19

Schrader-Howell Funeral Home • January 17, 2021

When there’s a death in the family, you’ll need to contact a funeral home serving Plymouth Township, MI families. But with the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown measures in place, how safe is it to go to a death care services provider? You’ll find that funeral homes are taking certain measures and precautions to keep you, your family, and their staff safe. 

 

Here’s a look at some of the things we are doing to keep everyone safe and to set your mind at ease. 

 

We’re Monitoring the Situation 

In order to ensure we’re taking the right steps, we’re staying abreast of the latest information and guidelines from the CDC, from the National Funeral Directors Associations, from the state and federal governments, and from state and local associations. So our policies will continue to reflect directives from the aforementioned bodies. These directives – and therefore our policies – are subject to change based on any new developments stemming from the COVID-19 situation. But you can rest assured that the goal will be to keep you, your loved ones, and our staff members safe. 

 

We’re Limiting Group Sizes 

In order to keep everyone safe, we are limiting the sizes of gatherings. This is in line with state regulations. So there is a cap on the number of people who can assemble for a funeral service or a cremation service. In fact, the attendance cap is applicable even for outdoor events such as graveside services. These measures are intended to stop the spread of the coronavirus, which means that such policies will keep you and your loved ones safe and sound. 

 

We’re Doing Extra to Sterilize Our Facility 

We’ve always made it a priority to keep our facility clean, but we’ve implemented more measures in this regard. So we’re sterilizing surfaces and door handles more frequently. We also have hand-sanitizer dispensers throughout our facility. If you come in for a consultation, you can rest assured that we take cleanliness seriously and will continue to do so. 

 

We Require that Masks be Worn in Our Facility 

Anyone who comes to our facility is required to wear a mask. This policy is intended to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus – and this will keep people who enter our facility safe. 

We Practice Social Distancing 

It’s recommended by the CDC that people practice social distancing. This is something that we require in our facility. Our staff members will practice social distancing among one another and among our customers. So you can rest assured that we will do our part – and we require our customers to do the same.
