The Staff at Price Funeral Homes are following the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommendation of only allowing 10 people at a gathering at any time. This would include arrangements conferences, funeral services, gravesides and all visitations. The CDC recommends that all in-person public gatherings of more than 10 people be postpone or cancelled for the next eight weeks . We fully understand the importance for public gatherings to honor the lives of those we care about, the CDC believes common sense and limiting numbers at public gatherings is one of the most significant resources that may slow the spread and impact of this pandemic.
