We’ve just gotten word that Roberts Funeral Home was nominated for the 2022 Best of Best Awards! To whomever nominated us - THANK YOU! If you all feel so inclined, please keep an eye out in the Review, Journal and Salem News for information on voting and show us some love. 🥰😁🤩
Today was a little different here at the funeral home. We expect to make prearrangements with “older” folks for themselves or their loved ones, but today I sat down with a girl I’ve know since 7th grade and her husband to talk about their plans and wishes. They left here thankful they took the time to have the “weird” experience (their words, not mine! 🙂) of thinking about and planning for their passing - many, many years down the road, of course - so their children wouldn’t be burdened with it. Something as simple as getting your biographical information in a file and getting your wishes put on paper or going all the way to making sure your final arrangements are funded will be a huge relief to your family one day. We know that no one wants to think about their own death, but being prepared is having peace of mind and is truly one of the best gifts you can give your loved ones (believe me! I’ve heard that exact phrase many times of the years while taking care of families.) If you’re interested in sitting down and starting your conversation with us, please don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Here’s a few statistics I find incredibly interesting and wanted to pass along:
-The US population is approximately 330 million.
-The average annual US death rate is 3,350,000.
-There are currently approximately 23,000 licensed funeral directors in the US.
-That averages 140 decedents per funeral director per year! (Of course some handle more and some handle many less)
We are often the “forgotten” profession because - let’s face it - no one wants to have to need us (which we totally understand!) However, it’s no wonder many wonderful people that start out in the profession quickly experience mental, emotional, and physical burnout. I’m always immensely grateful for the amazing families we serve that offer us grace when we cry and laugh with them, offer us hugs (you never know how much a simple hug can lift us up!), and allow us to be “human” instead of a robot when we are making arrangements and taking care of a loved one. It truly makes my “job” so much easier, and it’s something I value being in a small town!

I’ve debated posting about this for a while, but after the gross neglect of so many people we experienced on Saturday and in the recent weeks, I feel it’s time to let people know what we’re running into and how easily it could be remedied. I understand our funeral home is on Main Street, arguably the busiest street in town. We do our absolute best to keep delays to a minimum while we are parking cars and leaving the funeral home in a procession. My staff is trying to direct cars to the proper place, help people cross in the crosswalk (which is a state law to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk - that also very rarely happens) all while keeping themselves safe. We’ve had NUMEROUS people speed out around cars - crossing the middle line to do so - while someone that is unable to walk far is unloading directly in front of the funeral home or while a car is finding out where they are supposed to park. If the cars behind could wait just a few seconds while we get these items taken care of, it would be a huge help and decrease the chances of an accident. Please also remember that the people in the vehicles or standing outside the funeral home are grieving and don’t appreciate engines being revved as you try to speed around the stopped vehicles. Finally, if you see the orange cones out in the road, PLEASE either stop or turn down 6th or 7th streets. As we are pulling away from the curb for a procession we block the street so we can get all of the cars pulled out safely. We block the street at the very last second and so that you can access the side streets if you are in a hurry. On our last procession I was almost hit on the shoulder by a side mirror of a truck that was so impatient he blew through the cone and I happened to be walking out to direct traffic for the procession. Again, we do our very best to keep delays to an absolute minimum and we truly appreciate the kindness that so many people do show when they see our processions coming down the road. And please always take a second to think about how you would feel if someone was acting this way during a funeral for your loved one. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and taken care of.

There are 19 sets of parents that lost their babies in a senseless act of violence today. 19 sets of parents that won’t be tucking their babies into bed tonight, won’t be making fun plans for the summer break, will never see their child alive again. 19 sets of parents that will be meeting with funeral directors in the coming days to plan services for their babies. 19 sets of parents and a city, state, and nation that grieves tonight for the innocent lives lost, the future that will never come, and a world that is unrecognizable. I don’t know what the answer is, but this cruelty and violence against our fellow humans MUST STOP. A place where kids should feel the safest is quickly becoming the enemy. This world is full of so much hate - and we are quickly becoming blind and indifferent to the mass violent events that are happening on a daily basis. Tonight we grieve and send our heartfelt condolences to the families in Texas and we pray for strength for the funeral directors that are going to be asked to serve these families with the horrendous task of laying these babies and other loved ones to rest - AND TOMORROW WE MUST MAKE CHANGE A PRIORITY!
