Petersburg, Virginia is steeped in history and tradition, much like J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home & Cremation Service. What started as a furniture store on Bollingbrook Street back in 1856 has grown into one of the oldest funeral homes in the country.
To mark this milestone in our history we have planned several events throughout the course of the year.
|
 In commemoration of J.T. Morriss & Son’s 150th
anniversary, we will hold a reenactment of founder
J.T. Morriss II’s 1890 funeral at historic Blandford
Church. The ceremony will be held so that we can
celebrate the life of a man who started a legacy.
Come and observe Victorian funeral customs along
with an authentic horse drawn hearse.
All are welcome to attend
and relive a momentous occasion
in Petersburg’s
history.
