For funerals taking place, they suggested limiting attendance to select family and livestreaming the service for those who cannot attend; services could also be recorded and the video shared with whomever the family deems appropriate. They further advised that those who are ill and are at-risk (e.g., elderly, immune-compromised) should be encouraged to stay home.
Funeral homes should also urge attendees to follow recommended healthy habits such as social distancing, hand hygiene, covering cough and sneezes, etc. We will be allowing families to have services in our chapel. Immediate family only. But we will be live streaming the services on Facebook Live at the time of service and also have public viewing via Facebook Live and the families and friends can view at their convenience.

Death is a different and difficult experience for everyone. Even if you have experienced a loss yourself it is still hard to console someone close to you who has suffered a loss. Below are some tips and suggestions on how you can help the bereaved. First a short explanation of grief. A Definition of Grief - The physical, emotional and mental condition brought on by a loss, such as the death of someone you love.
The Traditional Service includes the following; Service of Funeral Director and Staff, Embalming, Transfer of Remains to funeral home (within a twenty five (25) mile radius), other preparation of the body (Dressing), use of facility for viewing and visitation, funeral ceremony (Chapel or Church), use of hearse, (1) family car "Limo", committal or other disposition service and register book.
Just as estate planning and creating a will are responsible decisions, planning your end-of-life services makes emotional and financial sense. It gives you the power to choose an ending that perfectly tells the story of your life. And most importantly, it protects your family from making difficult decisions at such an emotional time.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).

The customer service was awesome. My grandmother passed away my mother and I had to coordinate everything from long distance. I was extremely impressed with all of the follow up calls and emails to get my grandmother ready for her home going service. I highly recommend William Gayleano Murray and son funeral home. They take care of you like family.

My husband’s sister passed unexpectedly while we were on vacation in Mexico a week ago. I was able to reach out to Mr. Murray on a Saturday evening and he responded personally and provided us package options within 24 hours. The ball was rolling before we returned home. It was a very stressful week leading up to the service, but he and his staff let me vent when needed and kept me sane. It takes a special breed to be in the funeral home business, but one thing I’ve known for sure since 1981…if the last name Murray is on it, you’re guaranteed first class service. Thank you again, Gayleano

William Gayleano Murray & Son Funeral Home
Offered sufficient, compassionate, superlative arrangements for my father's memorial service!
I have never been in a position to have to plan memorial services. So, a situation which could have been devastating for me flowed smoothly due to the care, professionalism and compassion WILLIAM GAYLEANO MURRAY & SON FUNERAL displayed.
I also appreciate the fact they were clear about pricing. During times of grief it is important to be able to handle things of this nature with someone you can trust. Emmanuel, Jared and Jennifer made us feel like

William Gayleano Murray and Son Funeral Hone provided excellent service to our family in the passing of our mother. The customer service we received from Mr. Allan Favors was exceptional. Mr. Favors was so attentive to our needs and displayed a level of support and empathy as if it was his own family member. Thanks to the team for a job well done.

William Gayleano Murray & Sons did a MARVELOUS job in rendering services for our beloved grandmother, mother, aunt, etc. My cousin already provided commendation but no words can express my gratitude of their services from a non-resident of Georgia. No planning is easy for a loved one but they were accommodating to ALL of our requests. We specifically had family that were wheelchair bound and they were there to assist with transport and getting them to services along with graveside and didn’t allow family to miss not one beat. The bonus in their exceptional services is that they were affordable
