This directive adds a greater limitation on the number of people who can be at funeral homes, not counting funeral home staff. The new maximum number of people who can be at a funeral home at one time is 10 or fewer<\/strong>. This pertains to the entire funeral home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to make the safety of you and your staff the priority.<\/strong> Focus on accommodating as few people as possible. The goal is safety for all families and all funeral home staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My March 23 directive had placed the limit at 10 at each funeral or visitation. We now must make this more stringent in order to protect families and funeral home staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, if only one of your staff members comes down with COVID-19, your funeral home could be closed for two weeks or longer. <\/strong>We need you all open during this very hard time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funeral home must be large enough for people to maintain physical distancing of at least two metres (six feet) apart from each other at all times, to a maximum of 10 people \u2014 in the entire funeral home establishment at one time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you have unlimited space, or are outside, the maximum is 10. The number does not include funeral home staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note, that if you advertise a funeral, visitation or gathering in any medium you must state this limitation or link to this directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow this law strictly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
