Mr. George Reid1941 - 2020April 7, 2020 – This directive adds a greater limitation onthe number of people who can be at funeral homes, not counting funeral homestaff.The new maximum number of people who can be at a funeral home at one time is 10or fewer. This pertains to the entire funeral home.My March 28 directive had placed the limit at 10 at each funeral or visitation.We now must make this more stringent in order to protect families and funeralhome staff. Remember, if only one of your staff members comes down withCOVID-19, your funeral home could be closed for two weeks or longer. We needyou all open during this very hard time.The funeral home must be large enough for people to maintain physicaldistancing of at least two metres (six feet) apart from each other at alltimes, to a maximum of 10 people — in the entire funeral home establishment atone time.Even if you have unlimited space, or are outside, the maximum is 10. The numberdoes not include funeral home staff.Focus on accommodating as few people as possible. The goal is safety for allfamilies and all funeral home staff.Note, that if you advertise a funeral, visitation or gathering in any mediumyou must state this limitation or link to this directive.Follow this law strictly.Thank you all for the professional and caring work you do for Ontario familiesevery day.Stay vigilant. We are ready…together with you to provide the best, safebereavement services to Ontario families.This directive is made pursuant to an Emergency Order under the EmergencyManagement and Civil Protection Act.-Carey Smith, CEO/Registrar, BAOhttps://mailchi.mp/20eff0aa3ef8/registrars-directive-10-max-in-the-entire-funeral-home-at-one-time?e=ad6dc26ec0
