Visneski Funeral Home, Inc. Is Prepared
to Safely Care For Families During the COVID-19 Pandemic:
DANVILLE, PA -
We remain committed and
prepared to safely care for the families we serve during the novel
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Whenever possible, our funeral home
will continue to enable families to participate in the rituals that are
most important to them.
And according to the CDC, at
this time, there is no known risk associated with being in the same room
at a funeral or visitation service with the body of someone who died of
confirmed or suspected COVID-19; however, federal, state and local
public health guidance may impact the size of gathering a family is able
to plan. Depending on a family’s preferences, their loved one can be
safely embalmed. Families may choose either burial or cremation as
usual.
At Visneski Funeral Home,
Inc. 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.”
A member of the National
Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), Visneski Funeral Home, Inc.
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.
