Why Family-Owned Funeral Homes Make a Difference

July 14, 2025

What Sets our Family-Owned and Operated Funeral Home Apart?

1. Personalized Service That Feels Like Home

Family-owned funeral homes are built on relationships, not policies. At Roberts Funeral Home, our team lives and works in the same community we serve. We know your traditions, values, and faith—and we treat every family like our own.

Choosing a local, family-run funeral home means:

  • Tailored funeral and cremation services to honor your loved one
  • A deeper understanding of your culture, religion, and community traditions
  • Care that comes from the heart, not a corporate script


2. Familiar Faces and Lasting Trust

One of the most comforting parts of working with a family-owned funeral home is the continuity. At Roberts Funeral Home, you’ll see the same caring staff year after year—people you’ve grown to know and trust.

This consistency means:

  • You're not treated like a number
  • We remember your story and what matters most to you
  • You receive reliable care before, during, and after the service


3. A Legacy You Can Trust

Today, it’s more common than you might think: large corporations purchase well-known funeral homes and continue using the family’s name—often without the family involved at all. The name stays the same, but the personal touch and long-standing values behind it are gone.

That’s not the case at Roberts Funeral Home.

We’ve never sold our name or our legacy. Our funeral home has always been owned and operated by a member of the Roberts family—and always will be.

What that means for you:

  • Our family name stands for something real—because we’re still the ones behind it
  • You’re served by people who built this business, not a company that bought it
  • Our traditions, values, and commitment to care are passed down—not handed off
  • You can trust that the compassionate service we’re known for is still deeply personal

When you choose Roberts Funeral Home, you’re choosing an unbroken legacy of family service—rooted in truth, not marketing.

When attending a funeral, following proper etiquette is important to show respect for the deceased and their family. Start by dressing conservatively, usually in muted or dark colors, as this is a somber occasion. Arrive on time and be mindful of the schedule, as punctuality is a sign of respect. During the service, maintain a respectful demeanor—turn off or silence your phone, and speak quietly if you need to communicate with others. Offering condolences to the family is also important; keep your expressions simple and sincere. Acknowledge their loss without overwhelming them with lengthy conversations or unsolicited advice. Sometimes, the most meaningful gesture is to offer a supportive presence and listen, allowing the family to express their grief and share their memories in their own way.

Funerals play a crucial role in helping people cope with the loss of a loved one. They provide a structured opportunity for family and friends to come together, share their grief, and offer support to one another. This gathering helps acknowledge and honor the life that has ended, giving everyone a chance to say their final goodbyes. Beyond marking the end of a life, funerals offer a moment for reflection, allowing people to celebrate the deceased’s achievements and memories. They also create a space for shared grieving, which can help individuals feel less isolated in their sorrow. This collective mourning process helps in beginning the healing journey, as it often involves stories, rituals, and ceremonies that help frame the loss in a way that acknowledges both the pain, and the beauty of the life lived.
