A Common Place
In the days, weeks, and months following the service, people continue to need others to lean on for understanding, encouragement, and guidance. For that reason, many local and national support groups have formed. These groups provide a common place and a comforting environment for expressing emotions through each phase of the grieving process.

Why Aftercare?
If you or someone you know is seeking grief support, please join us for our Grief Groups. We offer a variety of types of support, open to all ages. Reservations are not necessary.
At Roper and Sons Funeral Home, we understand that a funeral or memorial service for your loved one is a positive first step in the grieving process. In the days, weeks, and months following a service, people continue to need others to lean on for understanding, encouragement, and guidance.
Our goal is to address the healing of our community as a whole, providing grief support services in response to a need, while striving to change the way we as a culture view grief. That is why Roper and Sons offers a common place and a comforting environment for expressing emotions through each phase of the grieving process.
