The Family and Staff of Barnum Funeral Home have proudly served our community as Servants of the People Since 1905, and we remain committed to providing the same compassionate care and dignified service. While conditions have evolved since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to practice select safety precautions to protect the health and well-being of our families, visitors, and staff.

​

In accordance with guidance from the CDC for the funeral industry, we have maintained several thoughtful measures and flexible service options designed to ensure a safe and respectful experience for all.

​

Our Ongoing Safety Practices Include:

Care & Preparation of the Deceased
We continue to follow CDC-recommended protocols during the removal and preparation of the deceased to safeguard both our staff and the families we serve.

Office Appointments
To support comfort and safety, office visits are limited to a small number of individuals at one time. Virtual participation via Zoom is available to include additional family members. A staff member can assist with scheduling and connection instructions upon request.

Remote Planning Options
Families may complete arrangements remotely when preferred. Documentation can be submitted via email or fax, and payment options are available without requiring an in-person visit.

Funeral Services
Graveside services are encouraged when appropriate. Repasts are discouraged to reduce large gatherings.

Public Viewings
A walkway viewing area between our buildings allows family members and guests to pay their respects from a safe distance through a window display. Walkways are clearly marked to support appropriate spacing and are offered with the consent of the family.

Day of Service Support
Immediate family members are provided with masks and individual hand-sanitizer containers as needed.

Service Recordings
With family consent, services may be streamed live via Facebook and remain available on our website and Facebook page for up to 60 days.

Condolences & Communication
Messages of condolence may be shared through email or on our Facebook page to support families during their time of loss.

Sanitation Measures
Hand-sanitizing stations remain available throughout our facilities. Our buildings, offices, and vehicles are routinely sanitized, including the use of professional fogging equipment.

Notary Services
Our complimentary notary services remain available through our designated window area. Appointments are required. Individuals must be present with valid ID, as documents cannot be notarized on behalf of others.
