Local Grief Support

At no charge, Roland Funeral Home offers local grief support to both those families who have utilized our services as well as others who have this need.

Our Grief Support presently meets on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 to 5:00 pm at the old Roland Family Home located at 1011 East 10th Street in Atlantic. Occasionally the group gathers in the upstairs apartment of our funeral home located at 204 East 5th Street in Atlantic.

GriefShare

Warren and Amy Roland, Buffy Barrs (daughter) and Mary Hoegh are currently guiding this group through helpful GriefShare lessons. The study includes: 1) video testimonials by those who have experienced the death of a loved one and ministry by well-known counselors,

2) workbook discussions of "YOUR JOURNEY FROM MOURNING TO JOY" and 3) a sharing time with group exchange.

We are sensitive to those who may be reserved or shy in sharing their thoughts and feelings and strive to keep the atmosphere comfortable. Refreshments are served during our time together.

Please contact us at (712) 243-5492 or toll-free, 877-243-5492 to make sure there are no changes in our current time and location.

One-On-One Bereavement Counseling

Dick Krambeck

We are pleased to offer one-on-one counseling with Amy Roland and rural Methodist minister Dick Krambeck. They provide caring, individualized grief support to help through the process of mourning. Please call our funeral home at 243-5492 or toll-free, 877-243-5492 for an appointment for the needs of you or someone you know.

The Roland Lending Library

The Roland lending library has a wide variety of books and educational materials dealing with death of a child, spouse, parent and other grief-healing related topics. The public is encouraged to come in to browse and check out these resources during the weekday business hours 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Group Events

Besides our regular weekly meetings held on Tuesday afternoons, we offer a picnic and a fireside potluck gathering of past and current support friends periodically. If there is an interest in joining us, we would love to have you visit and bring someone along.
