MUNZ-PIRNSTILL

In response to the recent requests of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, Munz-Pirnstill Funeral Home cares about the health and well-being of our associates and guests. We understand this situation is constantly changing and we are monitoring and evaluating developments of the coronavirus (COVID-19). We and the State of Ohio still believe that gathering and supporting one another at a time of loss is important which is why the State of Ohio has exempted funerals from the public gathering ban.

All services will have the option of complimentary on-site Live video streaming. Each person, family, and funeral is unique and funeral directors will meet with each family as deaths occur to determine what is best. We do ask that those at risk or those not feeling well stay home. Condolences may be sent over the phone or on our website and cards may be mailed to the funeral home.

In addition to communicating best health and safety practices to our associates and guests, we have implemented enhanced cleaning throughout our location. We will continue to meet families during this time. We recommend only necessary family members attend the arrangement meetings to limit the amount of people gathering. We will also provide the option to work with families electronically or over the phone if they do not want to come to the office.

If you are attending services, please follow CDC recommendations to help prevent the spread of illness:

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available- hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm or inner elbow

• Avoid close contact with sick people

• Stay home when you are sick or not feeling well.

• Keep distances of 4 to 6 feet when meeting and greeting families
