We care deeply about the health and well-being of our guests and employees.

We will be be monitoring and evaluating developments of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and adhere to the guidance provided by the CDC and Governor DeWine.

Graumlich Funeral Home believes gathering and fellowship during a time of loss is an essential component of the grieving process. The State of Ohio has exempted funerals from the public gathering ban; however The State of Ohio says no more than 50 people in gathering. While not mandatory, The State of Ohio strongly recommends that Ohioans avoid unnecessary non-family social gatherings of more than ten (10) people in accordance with national guidelines issued March 16, 2020. The State of Ohio has revised the order issuing the ban on public gatherings in order to comply with the CDC’s recommendations. 

To protect the health and safety of our families and employees, all services and visitation will be strictly private for the foreseeable future. We will be offering Live Streaming of funeral service if family we are serving request. The CDC recommends no more than 10 people at any social gathering including a funeral. Social distancing is the best way to limit the spread of the COVID-19. 

If you are feeling unwell or have any symptoms of COVID-19 please refrain from going out into the public. Staying home speeds your recovery and prevents spreading illness, as well as protects those in high-risk groups. If you are experiencing a cough, fever, or shortness of breath, we encourage you to not attend funeral services.
