Primrose Funeral Service

Primrose Funeral Service Over 25,000 families have placed their trust with Primrose Funeral Service and Sunset Memorial Park.

In 1931, Odies Primrose and George Jansing established Jansing-Primrose Funeral Home in Norman, Oklahoma. In 1943, the business became Primrose Funeral Home, and relocated to North Porter Avenue in 1947. The second generation of the Primrose family ownership began with Ben Primrose in 1973 and continued until his retirement in 1994. Both Ben and his father were licensed funeral directors, and Odies held a 50-year service pin with the Oklahoma Funeral Directors Association. With a welcoming atmosphere designed to make families feel comfortable, our funeral home features a large and inviting foyer, visitation rooms furnished for comfort and reflection, and a warm chapel that can seat approximately 250 people. We pride ourselves on customizing each funeral as a celebration of the life lived. We believe that funeral services should reflect the lives of those being honored, and we strive to create meaningful tributes to those who have meant so much to family and friends.

A Word of Encouragement Can Go a Long Way

Why today matters… In a week of remembrance, we’re reminded of a simple truth: encouragement creates courage.

Grief feels heavy because love is real. We may not be able to lift the weight, but we can shoulder a little of it.

Sometimes compassion looks like presence:
“I’m here.”
“Tell me about them.”
A memory shared at just the right moment.

On this National Day of Encouragement, take a moment to pause. Reach out. Offer a gentle word of hope. You may never see the impact, but they will feel it.

What’s one sentence someone spoke that helped you through a hard time? Share it below—your words might be exactly what someone needs today.

We Remember – September 11

Some days are etched into our hearts forever. September 11, 2001, is one of them.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the countless acts of courage and compassion that followed in the hours, days, and years after.

We honor the first responders who ran toward danger.
We hold space for the families who carry memories instead of moments.
And we reflect on the strength that rose from sorrow, a reminder that even in the darkest times, the human spirit endures.

On this Patriot Day, we remember.
We honor.
And we continue to carry forward the legacy of those who are no longer with us.

We find a deep sense of purpose in helping a family feel seen, comforted, and cared for—that’s why we do what we do.

Every team member brings more than experience to the table—they bring heart.

In moments filled with uncertainty and emotion, we offer presence. We listen carefully, guide gently, and handle every detail with the kind of care we’d want for our own families.

It’s not just about arranging a service—it’s about honoring a life. And more than that, it’s about giving families space to breathe, reflect, and feel supported every step of the way.

Because behind every arrangement is a story. Behind every family is someone who matters.
And behind everything we do is a simple belief: every life deserves to be remembered with dignity and love.

Honoring the Heart of Service

This Labor Day, we celebrate the people whose dedication and compassion make a difference every single day.

We’re grateful for our teams who walk alongside families with kindness and care, and for all those who give their time and talents to serve others in meaningful ways.

Labor Day is more than a holiday—it’s a reminder of the value of hard work, the power of community, and the impact of service done with heart.

Today, we honor that spirit and wish you and your loved ones a safe, restful, and joyful holiday.

The most meaningful tributes often come from the heart—not a script.

Today, families are finding beautiful and personal ways to remember their loved ones.

Some create memory jars filled with handwritten stories.
Others build photo walls, release lanterns, or serve a favorite meal at a gathering.
One family even played their loved one’s favorite playlist during the service.

These moments may seem small, but they become lasting memories.
They remind us not just of how someone passed—but of how they lived.

There’s no “right” way to honor a life.

What matters most is choosing something that feels true, thoughtful, and full of love.

A celebration of life doesn’t have to follow tradition—because no two lives are the same.
More families today are choosing services that reflect the personality, passions, and legacy of their loved one.

That might mean favorite music, vibrant colors, a table of cherished mementos, or a gathering in a special place.

Whether it's an intimate gathering or a larger community event, a celebration of life is about one thing: meaning.

It’s not just about saying goodbye—it’s about remembering how someone lived.
When you plan ahead, you can make sure your service reflects your story.
And when you're planning for a loved one, these choices become powerful tools for healing and remembrance.

In times of loss, it’s often not the grand gestures—but the quiet ones—that leave a lasting impression.

A steady voice on the phone.
A handwritten note.
A warm, reassuring presence in the room.

These small acts may seem simple, but for families navigating grief, they mean everything.
We believe that how we serve matters just as much as what we provide.

Compassion, patience, and presence—those are the things people remember.

If someone once supported you in a time of loss, you likely haven’t forgotten it.
That’s the kind of difference we aim to make every day.

When people ask why we do the work we do, the answer is simple: it's not just a job—it’s a calling.

Every day, we meet families in their most vulnerable moments.
We sit with them in silence, listen to their stories, and help them honor lives that meant everything.
That kind of work requires more than knowledge. It takes empathy, patience, and a deep commitment to care.

We’re here not just to guide, but to stand beside—through every detail, every conversation, every step.
It’s a privilege to serve, and we don’t take that lightly.

For us, this work is personal. Because every life deserves to be remembered with dignity and heart.

When words fall short, ritual helps us express what’s in the heart.

Rituals—large or small—give us a way to mark life’s most profound moments.
They help us slow down, create meaning, and begin the healing process.

For some, it’s lighting a candle at the same time each day.
For others, it’s playing a favorite song, planting a tree, or gathering to share stories.

These acts aren’t about formality—they’re about connection.
They remind us that love endures, even in loss.

Grief can feel overwhelming. Ritual offers structure, intention, and a place to begin.
If you’re walking through a season of loss, know that you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Grief touches every part of us—not just emotionally, but physically and mentally too.

When navigating loss, even small steps toward wellness can make a meaningful difference.
Wellness doesn’t mean “moving on”—it means making space to care for yourself while honoring your grief.

Consider starting with:

– Drinking more water, even when you don’t feel like it
– Getting outside for fresh air and light movement
– Talking with someone who truly listens
– Writing down a few thoughts each day, even just a sentence or two

These may seem like small actions, but they create space for healing.
Everyone’s grief journey is different, but no one has to go through it alone.
Support can look like many things—and sometimes, it starts with simply being kind to yourself.

Most people say they intend to pre-plan. But common myths can sometimes stop them from actually doing it.

Let us help provide some clarity:

Myth: “I’m too young to think about this.”
Truth: Pre-planning isn’t about age—it’s about preparedness. Many people begin planning in their 40s or 50s to ensure their wishes are known and honored.

Myth: “It’s too expensive.”
Truth: Pre-planning allows you to lock in today’s prices and pay over time—often resulting in long-term savings for you and your family.

Myth: “My family knows what I want.”
Truth: Unless it's clearly documented, even the closest families can face uncertainty or conflict when decisions are left unspoken.

When you take the time to plan ahead, you’re not just arranging a service—you’re lifting a burden.
We’re here to help you understand your options and make confident, informed choices.

What if one decision today could make things profoundly easier for your family tomorrow?

That’s what pre-planning does. It allows you to make thoughtful, personal decisions in advance, without pressure or emotion clouding the moment.
When the time comes, your loved ones won’t be left wondering what you would have wanted. They’ll know.

They’ll also have the freedom to focus on what matters most: remembering and celebrating your life.
– Clarity of your wishes
– Relief from difficult decisions during grief
– The ability to lock in today’s prices
– A meaningful legacy of care and consideration

We understand these aren’t easy conversations. But they’re some of the most important.
When you’re ready, we’re here to help you take the first step—with compassion, not pressure.
