VIEWING DECEASED WITH COVID – December 12th 2020

We are extremely pleased to be able to offer relatives of a person who has passed with Covid the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved one in an open coffin in a private chapel of rest.

If the deceased was tested positive 14 days or less before being brought in to our care then we will offer to bring your loved one, in an open coffin, into a private chapel at our head office where you may visit for a couple of hours. We will then close the coffin and take your loved one to our branch office that is most convenient for you where you can continue to visit until the day of the funeral, however the coffin will he closed.

If the deceased was tested positive 15 days or more (please provide proof of date) prior to being brought in to our care, then we will offer to embalm, wash, dress and present your loved one in an open coffin for the duration of their time with us, at a branch office of your choosing.

Please read our older Covid Updates in the News section.

Thank you,

Charles Craven.
