COVID-19 Information

As the voice of memorialists for North America and around the world, our association is here to support those in the monument building industry as they navigate sudden changes in light of COVID-19. We encourage business owners to reference the CDC guidelines as you make decisions on how to safely conduct business. For businesses located in the United States, the United States Chamber of Commerce website is a helpful resource to reference when defining what work is considered essential and non-essential. If you have any questions regarding local business guidelines and practices, we recommend you defer to your state and/or local public health officials.
