From Bryant Funeral Home & Nicholson-Ricke Funeral Home...

As global concern about coronavirus (COVID-19) begins to have an increased impact on our community, we are taking steps necessary to ensure the safety of the families we serve and the community in general.  Some families are making the decision to postpone services while others have opted to move forward with a small gathering of close family and friends. Please review the obituary of your loved one closely for service details and specific instructions about the decisions of the family.  Should further changes to services be required, we will update this information accordingly.

Please note the following options are available to help us during these difficult times:

  1. The services may be kept small and/or private.
  2. Sympathy Cards may be sent directly from your loved one's obituary to help you express your condolences while maintaining social distance.
  3. Services may always be postponed.

We are committed to adhering to the guidance by the CDC and government directives on public gatherings in order to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

General Information and Best Practices

  1. As always, we will continue to minimize risk of contamination by keeping our environment clean and safe with regular, thorough sanitizing.
  2. If you are sick, we strongly advise you to stay at home and pass on your condolences to the family via guestbooks or with a sympathy card available on the online memorial website, or by phone.
  3. Avoid physical contact such as handshakes or hugs. Cough or sneeze into a tissue, dispose immediately and then wash your hands with soap and water.
  4. Maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from other individuals when in public and avoid gatherings of more than 10 people.
