Seven Oaks Funeral Home is both honored and humbled by the privilege to serve our friends and neighbors as they place their confidence in us at a most difficult time in life. As the world responds to the spreading of COVID-19, we, also, must take cautionary steps in order to continue serving our community well. Out of concern for those we serve, Seven Oaks Funeral Home will be taking the recommended precautions as we collectively face this current state of emergency. In compliance with the recent recommendations from the federal and state government as well as the CDC, we are asking everyone to support the limited gathering policies, which include limiting the number of people to 10 for visitations and services. We will also be asking everyone to also comply with the required social distancing space of six feet, which means advising against hand-shaking, hugging, kissing and other intimate contact.

This community deserves the utmost level of professionalism in funeral services as well as a funeral home that exercises attentiveness to the needs of the community. These safeguards are set in place in order for Seven Oaks Funeral Home to continue providing such services and to demonstrate that attentiveness.

Thank you for your understanding and patience at this time.
