Memorial Services

Memorial Service or Celebration of Life Service is just that. A celebration and remembrance of your loved one. It’s a creative and meaningful memorial service that can feel more like an event or a party – it can be traditional or non-traditional while also being personal and festive.

This is a customized event that allows you to bring in different elements of a traditional and non-traditional funeral, provide for religious and secular participation if you choose, and share fond memories that made that person unique.

From our Clients

The staff at Roper and Sons were very helpful in planning the funeral service for my husband. They listened to what we would like to have done and they also made some suggestions that were very helpful. They took time with us to plan the service and did not rush us along.
