While grieving the loss of Peter "David" Guarisco III due to COVID-19, a Louisiana family says they were mocked at Martin & Castille funeral home for asking funeral home officials to tell others to wear a mask, as @LouisianaGov has ordered. https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/news/coronavirus/article_2605ada2-5b6e-11eb-a5c1-f380a070c632.html
Tonight, I heard from a woman who says she left this same funeral home because she was “disgusted” by the lack of mask wearing/enforcement.

“... I wore my mask and was surprised to seeThe lady at the reception desk did not have a mask. I went in the room where Del Goodson was and there were quite a few people there I estimated 60 or 70 but maybe just 50...”
“... After I spoke to her husband I sat in a pew and counted only three people besides me that were wearing masks.
I had brought a cake so I went to the kitchen two set it down and I had to sign something the two workers in the kitchen spoke to me neither one had a mask...”

“...I went back and spoke to the receptionist and asked her why she didn’t have a mask and she said it wasn’t required. I also saw another employee without a mask. I decided it was too dangerous to stay and I left.”
Louisiana has a mask mandate in place by order of the Governor. Private businesses must comply. https://gov.louisiana.gov/assets/Proclamations/2020/209-JBE-2020-State-of-Emergency-Renewing-COVID-19.pdf
