There’s an empty seat this year.
The family gathering still happens. The holiday still goes on. But someone who always made it feel complete… isn’t there this time. Maybe they’ve passed. Maybe their health keeps them away.
Even amidst laughter and celebration, there’s a quiet ache.
At Harris Funeral Home, we understand how deeply these moments can be felt, especially when life should feel joyful. If you’re moving through a season like this, carrying both love and sorrow, we see you.
You are not alone. And if planning ahead brings peace of mind for the days to come, we’re here whenever you’re ready to talk.

At Harris Funeral Home, we understand the profound bond between pets and their families. Losing a pet can be just as heartbreaking as losing a human loved one. Today, let's celebrate the lives of our furry friends and the special moments we shared with them.
If you've lost a beloved pet, here are some ways to remember and honor them:
📸 Create a Memory Album: Gather photos and mementos to create a tribute to your pet's life.
🌸 Plant a Memorial Garden: Dedicate a space in your garden to your pet, with their favorite flowers or a memorial stone.
💖 Share Your Story: Connect with others who understand your loss by sharing your pet's story and the joy they brought to your life.
🕯️ Light a Candle: Take a quiet moment to light a candle in remembrance of your pet and reflect on the happy times you had together.
Our pets may no longer be with us physically, but their spirit and the love they gave us live on. If you need support or resources during this time, Harris Funeral Home is here to help.

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.

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.
Compassion, caring and community service are still the foundation of our family. Which is why we’re committed to helping yours.
