Roland Funeral Home Staff and Facilities
Warren Roland married Amy Jo Paul in 1971, and the couple has raised six children: Heidi, James, Burdette, Jr., Buffy Jo, Spencer and Jo Beth, whom intermittently have helped in the family business.
In recent years, since their children have graduated and gone on to college and other vocations, Amy has taken an active part, helping with secretarial work and management. Her heart for grief support and other areas of continuing care has added new dimensions to the funeral service.
Aside from a career in teaching music, their daughter, Heidi, remains involved, assisting in various areas of the funeral business. James has married, is raising a family and has made strides influencing embalming in a village near Kenya, Africa, where he and his family are living as missionaries. Because customs there do not allow for cremation, bodies have been neglected, creating horrible conditions while waiting for the families to be located before burials.
Roland Funeral Service continues offering Grief Support Services facilitated by Dick Krambeck for an adult group, and Heidi Roland for a teen group. They also offer one-on-one counseling provided at no charge to those interested in grief education and support.
In keeping up with the needs of the bereaved, Heidi Jo now adds lovely touches to the services with videos and CDs she creates from photos and favorite background music of the celebrated lives. Heidi puts together family histories and special events creating collections that become lasting family treasures to be passed down to each generation.
Rolands offer new, lower priced services expanding their spectrum to allow for a wider range of budgets. "Our reflection of the past is one of gratitude and inspiration," says Warren and Amy Jo, "to remain dedicated with quality and personal service.
