Stay at Home Arrangement Helper

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: We have chair seating instead of pews so that we can have our chairs spaced according to social distancing guidelines. Callaway-Jones staff will be wearing masks and we recommend you do as well. Facilities are disinfected after each service. Social distancing guidelines are recommended. If a guest is coughing, sneezing, or has a fever they will need to step out of the event. The safety and health of your family and guests, and our staff, is of the utmost importance.

We built this “Stay At Home Arrangement Helper” to help our families during this time of coronavirus pandemic. If you have recently lost a loved one or will soon, our directors will conduct a phone conference with you to help guide and walk you through this journey. We are and will continue to be 100% dedicated to our families with the very best service and quality available in our community.

Our director will schedule a time and this page will serve as an agenda for your phone conference.

There are various items that will need to be discussed during the time of the phone conference. We have categorized them into six groups:
