novel coronavirus (covid - 19) update

due to the recent directive from the health authority of nova scotia, our funeral homes are taking the necessary precautions to keep you and our staff safe.

CURRENTLY, IT IS MANDATORY TO WEAR A MASK AND PROVIDE PROOF OF VACCINATION WHILE ATTENDING A VISITATION OR FUNERAL SERVICE IN OUR FACILITY.

IF YOU ARE PAYING AN INVOICE, MAKING FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS, OR PICKING UP DOCUMENTS, A MASK IS REQUIRED BUT PROOF OF VACCINATION IS NOT DUE TO THESE BEING DEEMED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

Thank you for understanding and stay safe.
