At F. S. Roberts & Son Funeral Home, we understand that comfort comes in many forms. That’s why we’re honored to have Zeth & Zandor, our Golden Retriever in final training.

Zandor is learning how to provide gentle reassurance and calm comfort during life’s most difficult moments. While still in training, his presence already brings peace, warmth, and a quiet sense of care to our funeral home.

Zeth remains by his side, ensuring that both our families and our community receive the compassion and support they deserve. Together, they embody our mission of service: to walk beside you with dignity, kindness, and heart.

We are honored to have them as part of our extended family here at F. S. Roberts & Son.
