Byrd & Flanigan Crematory and Funeral Service remains committed and prepared to safely care for the families it serves during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Whenever possible, we will continue to enable families to participate in the rituals that are most important to them. We will abide by the federal, state and local public health guidelines that suggest limiting the number of attendees to no more than 10 family members. At Byrd & Flanigan, we recognize our responsibility to protect the health of those we are privileged to serve. We will continue to guide families, as we always have, in ways they can meaningfully commemorate the life of their loved one, while adhering to the guidance issued by federal, state and local public health officials. Our staff remains vigilant about cleaning our facilities and ensuring we’re all following recommended healthy habits, such as staying home when sick, washing our hands, and covering coughs and sneezes. The CDC and our state and local public health officials have offered a lot of helpful guidance for businesses on this topic, which we continue to follow. In light of these events, we are also able to assist you with your funeral and cremations planning through phone, email and fax. We can also provide live streaming of the service of your loved one to those who are unable to be in attendance. A member of the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), Byrd & Flanigan Crematory and Funeral Service regularly receives information via NFDA from the CDC, Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies about the evolution of COVID-19 in the United States. NFDA continues to lead the conversation with federal officials about the role of funeral service as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 **Visitations & services held at Byrd & Flanigan Funeral Service will be limited to the same day of events for immediate family members only.**

Respectfully

Keenan Byrd & Michael Flanigan & Staff
