"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

Today, we share this beautiful traditional blessing with our community, hoping it brings comfort, peace, and warmth to you and your loved ones on this St. Patrick’s Day.

For many in our community, Valentine’s Day is a day of remembrance, to honor a love that continues to live in our hearts, even when those we cherish are no longer by our side.

Love lives on in every memory we hold dear.

Great lives light the way for others. Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., not just for the history he made, but for the future he fought for. His legacy reminds us that a life lived in service to others is a life that never truly ends.

Let us carry his dream forward, right here in Rochester.

From our family to yours, we wish you a day filled with quiet comfort, cherished memories, and moments of peace.

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month—a cause deeply close to our hearts here at Harris Funeral Home.

Here’s the truth:

🕊️ Funeral Planning is NOT Morbid
Many people who plan in advance experience a profound sense of relief and peace. Taking this step allows loved ones to feel secure in knowing that their wishes are honored.

🎉 Funeral Planning is NOT Traditional and Dated
Gone are the days of rigid rituals. Today’s funeral planning is all about personalization! The Baby Boomer generation has paved the way for creative celebrations of life, blending tradition with modern choices that truly reflect an individual's spirit.

⏳ Funeral Planning is NOT a Waste of Time
On the contrary, planning ahead saves precious time and alleviates the stress of difficult decisions for survivors. By making choices in advance, families can focus on cherishing memories rather than navigating last-minute arrangements.

At Harris Funeral Home, we believe that planning ahead can be a beautiful and empowering process.

The Harris Family Difference

Times have certainly changed since Paul W. Harris established our funeral home in Rochester in 1946. But our commitment to caring for the people in our community has not. Three generations and 70 years later, we’re still serving the needs of Rochester families as one of the oldest independent, family-owned and operated funeral homes and cremation services in our area.

We understand there are other funeral homes in the area to choose from, but there is a reason why families select Harris Funeral Home more often than others. Our philosophy is simple, treat every family as we would like to be treated! We offer world class service and our facilities are state of the art with many accommodating features.

The families who turn to us during a time of loss or for pre arrangement counseling experience our very high standards of service. These standards not only include transparency in funeral pricing but business practices as well.

Our Mission is to care for your family as we would care for members of our own family by providing information, services and merchandise of the highest quality at competitive prices in a dignified and professional manner. We promise to listen to your wishes and always value your trust. We pledge to maintain the reputation our family owned and operated firm has earned by acting with honesty, integrity and sensitivity. It is our policy to go the extra mile in offering the best in personal care before, during and after death.
