In practice as licensed Indiana funeral directors and funeral homes, the protection of public welfare and health, along with prevention in spread of infectious disease is part of our fundamental duty of care and legal responsibility. Indiana Code 25-15-2-17(7)

With this in mind, and the public welfare and reverent care at the heart of our mission, Solan Pruzin Funeral Home is committed to strictly following all prevailing federal, state, and local mandates in suppressing the spread of COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus.  While restrictive to public gatherings and events, these mandates are for the greater good of our community and nation.

We are asking no more than 10 people at a time as requested by our Governor of Indiana. To maintain that, we ask families to wait in their vehicles in the front of the building and we will usher them in as other families paying their respects leave.
