When searching for a funeral home in Lincoln, Nebraska, one of the most important things to consider is whether the organization is trustworthy. Can you trust them with the services that will honor your loved one? Will they listen to what you want, not what they think you need? Will they support your family through every step of the process, especially during the difficult decision making? These are all very real questions that families consider when choosing a funeral home.
At Roper & Sons Funeral Home in Lincoln, Nebraska, we’ve been honoring the loved ones of families since 1901. People think of us when they must plan a funeral. There is a reason for that. Our locally-owned, family-trusted legacy stems from multiple generations of leadership that has earned a reputation of trust with families because we are committed to doing what is right and what is in the best interest of the people we serve.
As a locally-owned funeral home that includes four generations of one family, every family that walks through our doors instantly becomes family to us. You can trust us with the care of your loved one because we treat your mother, father, grandparent, sibling, or child as if they are one of our own. Chances are we know you personally – our kids go to the same schools, we attend the same churches, we are involved in community activities with you – that is what makes us different.

Specialized Services

We believe that meeting the needs of the family includes family and friends who live in the immediate area, as well as those who live out of town and aren’t able to attend your funeral. In those situations, they are able to live stream funerals conveniently from anywhere in the world.
Grief support counseling is free to anyone in the Lincoln community, regardless of where the service took place. Our mission is to care for a family before, during, and long after the funeral service is done as family members may continue to cope with the loss of their loved one for weeks, months, or longer.
