At Vitt, Stermer & Anderson Funeral & Cremation Services, we remain committed to the health and safety of the families we serve, our employees, and our community. We want to assure you that we continue to take proactive measures to help prevent the spread of any potential illness. We are monitoring the situation closely by following local, state and national guidelines. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recently issued the following guidance to funeral service: 

• You can still have a funeral or visitation.
• Decedents can be embalmed using proper industry practices.
• Decedents can be buried or cremated, and we comply with all state and local requirements.

We want to reassure you that we’ll continue to maintain our high health standards. We are committed to serving all families and we have asked any employee running a fever or having flu-like symptoms to stay home.

With such a time of uncertainty in the world caused by the spread of COVID-19, we also want to let you know what your options are. We at Vitt, Stermer & Anderson Funeral & Cremation Services will always stress the importance of honoring your loved ones. We want to help you do so in a way that does not risk the health and well-being of your friends and family.
