Community Advice
Please be advised that while assisting families following the passing of a loved one, and bringing that person into our care, MCK Funeral Attendants will be wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as prescribed by The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS ) to protect both families and ourselves during the current period of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) concerns.
As an essential community service we must attend and perform our duties, so the PPE equipment is now a mandatory requirement. We apologise if this causes any extra stress at this already sensitive time.
When attending a Funeral or shiva please be mindful of all the precautions and guidelines issued by Government and Communal bodies regarding public gatherings, including refraining from kissing, hugging or hand shaking mourners or other attendees.
