George Brothers Funeral Service remains committed and prepared to safely care for the families and community we serve during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Whenever possible, we will continue to enable families to participate in the rituals that are most important and comforting to them.

As you are aware, each day brings new challenges and new information as we move through this national and world health crisis. Our current COVID-19 policy is subject to change as local and national authorities direct.

George Brothers Funeral Service has adopted the following COVID-19 policy effective April 20, 2020.

In accordance with Executive Order No. 121 issued by Governor Roy Cooper, funerals are permitted to include no more than fifty (50) persons, while observing Social Distancing Requirements to the extent practicable.

At this time, we are finding that each local jurisdiction is adopting new policies in their local areas. Therefore, when we are called to serve beyond the Guilford County, North Carolina border, George Brothers Funeral Service will work diligently to stay within the parameters set forth by the local authority including city, county, and state. In addition, we have encountered other restrictions and policy set by cemeteries and houses of worship that are both in conflict with and stricter than policy that local authority has set. When this occurs, we are committed to honor the most stringent restrictions called for.

We understand the death of a loved one brings unique challenges to each person and our policy, as stated above, will certainly add to those challenges. But please understand, the health and well being of our entire community, especially those at most risk for the life-threatening symptoms of the coronavirus must be our first priority.

George Brothers Funeral Service began serving this community in July of 2002. We have been involved in funeral service in the Greensboro community since 1987. In our communities, today's funeral service seems to have become big business rather than a ministry; however, we at George Brothers strongly feel your family's needs should come first. We are truly committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those who call on us.
