The directors and staff of McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service prioritize the health and well-being of our associates, family and guests.  We understand this is a fluid and serious situation that we are in today and we are monitoring and evaluating developments of the Corona Virus (COVID-19) on a daily basis.

We believe that supporting one another at a time of loss is very important.  At this time, we are asking everyone to respect a limited gathering policy.   This is a guideline of the CDC and the state board of health.

We do ask that those at risk or those not feeling well stay at home, but reach out to the family via our website at www.mckibbenandguinn.com Flowers and expressions of sympathy are still being accepted.

We also ask those who are attending funeral services to follow the CDC recommendations to take the usual steps to help prevent the spread of illness. Social distancing is very important in the control of the spread of this virus.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this time we are in.  When this crisis is over we will resume our normal procedures and operation.
