Our Story
Kari (Riegel) Carter is a lifelong resident of the Farmersville and Germantown communities. She graduated from Valley View High School in 1991 and obtained her Bachelor’s degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. She served her funeral director's apprenticeship under Jay Root before purchasing the funeral home in July 2018. Kari is very involved in the Farmersville and Germantown communities. She is an active member of the Germantown Lion’s Club, serves as the secretary-treasurer for the Germantown Chamber of Commerce, and is an active participant with other downtown Germantown businesses and groups that focus interest in bringing and sustaining businesses within the community. She volunteers her time on a monthly basis to help at CAMP (Community Action Mission Program) that serves Farmersville and Jackson Township. Kari enjoys running, biking and the outdoors and has one daughter, Cameron, who attends Ohio University, Athens.
Jay served the Germantown community as Owner/Operator of the Arpp & Root Funeral Home from 1981 until July 2018. Jay continues to work at the funeral home with his step-daughter Kari but is enjoying having more free time. He began his mortuary career shortly after ending his service to his country in Vietnam. Jay is known for being active in the community and is a member of the Rotary Club, The International Order of Oddfellows, and Germantown Chamber of Commerce. Carol is a lifelong resident of the Germantown and Farmersville community. She recently retired from Kettering Medical Center where she worked in the Financial Services Department. Since her retirement, Carol is more involved in the daily work at the funeral home and enjoys spending time with her grandkids Cameron Carter, Rachel Root, and Cole, Kaitlyn, Cody, and Kora Riegel.
