Protocol related to Covid-19 and other communicable diseases
Funeral homes take special care and precautions in cases where the deceased died of Covid-19 or other communicable diseases.
Most funeral homes will have fully prepared and sanitized the body including embalming. If this is the case the body will not be placed in a body enclosure (pouch or body bag).
In the event the remains were not embalmed, the body will be in body enclosure. Please confirm this is the case with the attending Funeral Director. The funeral home will also be disinfecting the exterior of the casket prior to transporting it to the cemetery or crematorium. Please confirm this with the attending Funeral Director.
Crematorium operators and cemetery operations employees will wear disposable gloves when handling the casket. The gloves will be disposed of, and the staff member must wash their hands thoroughly using soap and hot water after completion of the disposition, as soon as possible.
All surfaces in the backhoe, tractor and hand tools will also be wiped down and sanitized after these services.
