COVID-19 STATEMENT

Peninsula Funeral Home continues to receive updates from the Government of NL in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure that we keep our staff, our client families, and the general public safe, we will be restricting public access to our facilities.

The remembrance of a loved one is our business, and our priority.  We will do everything in our power to allow and assist families in the grieving process and to receive the support of their family and community around them, while striving to remain responsible and protect them as well.

Sincerely,

Peninsula Funeral Home
Management and Staff

With respect to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, Peninsula Funeral Home, in coordination with the Embalmers and Funeral Directors Board of Newfoundland and Labrador, have implemented the following practices and procedures to date:

• We have developed and implemented policies to ensure that essential services will be provided without putting funeral home staff and client families at risk.
• We have placed signage in the public areas of the funeral home reminding the general public to use proper hand washing techniques. Hand sanitizer will be available for the general public.
• In addition to our regular cleaning we have implemented further disinfecting measures.
• As of March 31, 2020 following the guidelines declared by the Government of NL we cannot provide wakes, visitations or funerals.  Only a private family viewing before a grave side burial service with a maximum of 5 people total can be offered.
• We ask that people pay their respects online, through our website.

We appreciate your support and understanding during these difficult times. Keeping our staff, the families we serve, and the general public safe are our top priorities.

Sincerely,

Peninsula Funeral Home
