**NEW FUNERAL HOME GUIDANCE**
Effective June 15, 2020, New Funeral Home Guidance has been released, based upon recommendations from the
NH Funeral Directors Association and the Governor's Re-Opening Task Force. In addition to continual, thorough facility sanitation
and training for our staff, the following measures are being implemented effective immediately:
- Funeral Service attendees should be notified/informed that if they have symptoms of COVID-19, they should NOT attend the funeral services for the protection of other attendees and staff.
- Funeral Service attendees should wear face coverings at all times when inside the funeral establishment.
- The number of attendees inside a funeral establishment will be limited to 50% or less of an establishment's permitted occupancy
- based on New Hampshire's Building & Fire Code.
- Any waiting/receiving lines inside and outside will have demarcations spacing attendees at least 6 feet apart.
- Seating must be arranged at least 6 feet apart with space to allow people to move through without coming into close contact with others.
- Establish one-way traffic patterns to promote social distancing.
- Close contact with others (e.g. hugging or hand-shaking) is discouraged. Condolences should be provided from a distance of at least 6 feet.
- No food, snacks or drinks are allowed in funeral homes or reception areas.
- Visitations will be limited to a period of 2 hours in order to allow for appropriate facility sanitizing and cleaning as prescribed by the CDC.
