Whenever possible, Zarzycki Manor Chapels, Ltd. will continue to enable families to participate in the rituals that are most important to them
As a member of the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), Zarzycki Manor Chapels, Ltd. 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.
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. Depending on a family’s preferences, their loved one can be safely embalmed. Families may choose either burial or cremation as usual.

Zarzycki continued: “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, covering coughs and sneezes, eating healthy and exercising. The CDC and our local public health officials have offered a lot of helpful guidance for businesses on this topic, which we continue to follow.”
