As a family-owned business trusted with your loved one, we are closely monitoring the public health concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID19). We want to reassure you that we are taking every precaution to ensure that our facilities are clean to reduce the risk of exposure for you and your family.
To provide maximum safety for the families we serve, our staff, and our communities, we are following the guidelines outlined by the State of Michigan, the National Funeral Directors Association, and the CDC.
- Memorial services, celebrations, visitations, and funerals may be conducted at this time – indoor capacity is limited to 50 people. Services may also be conducted outdoors. Food and beverages will not be available during services until further notice.
- Visitors and family members of the deceased are asked to keep a distance of 6 feet apart, avoid handshakes/hugs, and give only non-contact sympathy and condolences to limit the spread of illness.
- Services may be recorded and posted on the internet and DVDs can be mailed to family members that are unable to attend. We are providing this service FREE of charge (up to 5 DVDs per family).
- Our facilities are cleaned after every family visit and throughout the day. This includes disinfecting all surfaces including doorknobs, light switches, handrails, countertops, computers/tablets and phones with antibacterial/antiviral cleaning agents in accordance with mandated guidelines. Hand sanitizer and tissues are located throughout the facility
- All staff is required to wash their hands upon entering/exiting the office, prior to meeting with any of our families, and after meeting with any of our families. Klaassen Family Funeral Home staff will not report to work if they show any signs of illness.
We kindly ask families who have cared for a loved one showing signs of illness or are themselves showing signs of illness to not come into the facility - rather call the office at 616-842-9495. We will discuss how we can best serve your needs and answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Kurt, Scott and Dave Klaassen
