At some point in our lives, we all have to face the reality of losing a friend or family member to death. The idea of losing someone we love, however, makes most people feel uncomfortable, confused, and afraid. Yet only when we face death can we truly understand the value and meaning of life itself. A funeral represents a purposeful opportunity to reflect on the meaning of a life that has been lived and to determine the impact of that meaning for the family and friends. Funerals help bring together a community of mourners, creating an opportunity for friends and family to support each other emotionally, and to provide a sense of closure.

There is no single proper funeral service. At Roper & Sons Funeral Home, we understand that no one grieves in the same manner, and death rituals vary from culture to culture. We encourage families to create very personalized services. It is important to acknowledge that life that has been lived and to offer to the community a way in which to celebrate that life. We are honored to assist in the celebration of your loved one’s life and to help you find comfort during the planning of the funeral, the visitation or wake, the service, and long afterward.
