COVID-19 UPDATE, August 18, 2022
WE ARE HERE FOR YOU
What you need to know when someone you love dies at this time:
We will bring your loved one to us.
We'll talk with you soon after to discuss wishes. You may wish to get started with this form Immediate Need.
Contracts may be signed via email or in person.
Pre-arrangements are honoured.
Family Time, a time to say goodbye, is available......Our condolences to you.........this is a really hard time............ It's important to remember to breathe. . . . . .
As of March 21st, the Province of Ontario lifted its mask mandate. Depending on the preference of each family, and published in the obituary, masks may be required or not at visitations, funerals, Celebrations of Life, and receptions. HOWEVER, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE wearing masks, except when eating or drinking.
Masks must be worn while meeting one-on-one with our staff during arrangements, pre-arrangements, Estate Care or Bereavement Support meetings. This is in order to keep our staff healthy and able to work, as we are an essential service.
If masks are not worn, we encourage keeping a distance of 6 feet from each other.
The following are what we are able to offer, in compliance with the Public Health guidelines carefully followed*.
1. Funerals and Celebrations of Life in our chapel or Celebration Centre at full capacity.
2. Visitations for an unlimited number.
3. Graveside services at local cemeteries for an unlimited number of people.
4. Receptions & Celebrations of Life in our Reception and Celebration Centre with food, beverages, including alcoholic, and live music.
We are pleased to say that all of our staff have provided us with proof of double vaccination and most have booster shots.
ONLY THOSE WITH NO SYMPTOMS of COVID-19, NO HOUSEHOLD CONTACT WITH THESE SYMPTOMS WITHOUT BEING VACCINATED, AND NO ONE WHO SHOULD BE SELF-ISOLATING SHOULD COME INTO THE FUNERAL HOME.
Thank you for trusting us at this hard time.
Sincerely,
Jim and Sarah
