Private family graveside services are scheduled for Wednesday at Oak Grove Baptist Cemetery. Visitation will be on Tuesday from 4-8 pm at Pafford Funeral Home. Visitation will be limited to 10 people at a time. In response to public health concerns regarding the number of people in social gatherings, direction is included in Executive Order No. 17 issued on Sunday, March 22, 2020 by Governor Bill Lee. To limit the spread of COVID-19 so that normal life and activities may resume as soon as possible, the Governor ordered that persons in the State of Tennessee shall not participate in social gatherings of ten (10) or more people. Those social gatherings include, but are not limited to visitations, funerals, or other memorial events and burial of deceased humans (whether at a funeral establishment, church, cemetery, or other facility). This order has been extended through April 30, 2020. We respectfully ask that visitors only attend if they are fever and symptom free and we urge all visitors to only stay a brief moment of time and practice social distancing guidelines.
