Thanks in advance for your cooperation! * It is our responsibility as a Funeral Establishment, to do everything we can in order to honor our beloved Families and to keep everyone as safe as possible. The chapel can socially distance and seat a limit of ten (10) or less people people. All others will be able to flow through and view prior to beginning the Celebration of Life Ceremony.
