COVID-19

At Morris-Baker, we have observed a broad variety of comfort levels in regard to the Covid-19 virus. 

 

Serving your family begins with a discussion about your needs and concerns. We are committed to fulfilling each client family’s wishes and respecting their values and concerns.

 

Our discussion may involve practices that we have put in place to protect our staff.  As a funeral home operating during a Covid surge, our employees are exposed to health risks regularly, and it is vitally important that our staff remain healthy so we are ready to serve every family in need.

 

Call (423) 282-1521 to start your discussion with a funeral director.

 

 

FEMA COVID-19 Funeral Assistance 

 

Beginning April 12, 2021, FEMA will begin providing financial assistance for funeral expenses incurred after Jan. 20, 2020 for deaths related to coronavirus (COVID-19) to help ease some of the financial stress and burden caused by the pandemic. The program is explained in this video:

 

 

The application process for reimbursement of COVID-19 related funeral expenses must begin with the applicant calling FEMA’s toll-free number. That number, as well as the information they will need, is available by clicking the link below.

Our Current Procedures

Morris-Baker currently has the following procedures in place — many of which the CDC has suggested — to protect attendees:

  • At this time, masks are optional during all indoor public events.
  • If the family of the deceased requests all guests wear masks, our staff will facilitate that request. 
  • Our arrangement offices each have their own HEPA filter units.
  • Events in our Dogwood Chapel and Oak Hall may be webcast for those who cannot attend.

Our family and staff are here to serve, protect and honor each family as we have been for over 100 years. Please contact us with any questions or concerns via our website, or call (423) 282-1521.
