Sherwood Memorial Gardens

04/13/2026

At Roberts, we’re more than a business – we’re a family. And every member of our team is here because they care deeply about serving yours.

Today we’d like you to meet Brenda, who serves families at our Roberts/ Sherwood location in Wooster.

I’ve been with the company for two years as an Administrative Assistant. I love doing my part to help families get through their most difficult time as easily as possible. I also love encouraging them as they begin the healing process.

I have three children and three grandchildren. I am an avid baker and love crafting. I am taking Irish lessons and learning the lost art of quilting. I love studying history. I am a member of PEO and my church board. I love reading, I am a lay speaker and love participating at my church.

It is important for the grieving to be able to release their pain in a safe place and to know we are still there for them after their loved one is laid to rest because feeling of loss has no timeline.

When you walk through our doors, you’re not meeting a stranger. You’re meeting someone who chose this calling because families matter.

Healing Begins Here: When the World Blooms and You’re Still in Winter

The flowers are blooming.

The days are getting longer.

Everyone seems lighter, happier, ready for a fresh start.

And you’re still carrying the weight of winter inside you.

Spring can be one of the hardest seasons in grief.

Because the world is shouting “new beginnings!”

And all you want is the old beginning back.

The walks you used to take together.

The garden they would have planted.

The porch conversations you’ll never have again.

Here’s what’s true:

You don’t have to match the season.

You don’t have to bloom on anyone’s schedule.

Your grief has its own timeline, and it’s valid.

But if you feel a small spark of warmth – even for a moment – that’s okay too.
It doesn’t mean you’ve forgotten.

It means you’re still here. And that matters.

What Happens When Both Urns Are Sitting on the Shelf?

After cremation, many families bring the urn home.
And for a while, that feels right.

But then years pass. The family grows. People move.
And the question nobody planned for quietly arrives:

What happens to the urns when there’s no one left to keep them?

Our cremation gardens provide a permanent, beautiful resting place where families can visit, remember, and find peace – for generations.

Options include:

🌿 In-ground cremation gardens with memorial markers

🌿 Columbarium niches for above-ground placement

🌿 Companion spaces for couples

🌿 Memorial benches and personalized options

A permanent place means your family always knows where to find you.

Come see our cremation gardens in person. It changes everything.

Good Friday: A Day for Reflection, Remembrance, and Grace

Today we pause.

Good Friday reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there is meaning.

That sacrifice and love are inseparable.

That what feels like an ending can hold the seed of something new.

For those carrying grief today, may you find a quiet moment of peace.

For those remembering someone whose faith shaped your life, may their example

continue to guide you.

Wishing all families a reflective and peaceful Good Friday.

Healing Begins Here: When Easter Feels Different Now

The Easter eggs are hidden.

The table is set.

The hymns are playing.

And the only thing you can see is the empty place where they used to sit.

Easter is supposed to be about new beginnings.

About hope and renewal.

About families gathering together.

But when someone is missing, the celebration feels hollow.

The joy feels forced.

And you wonder if anyone else notices the silence where their laugh used to be.

They notice.

Here’s what no one tells you about grieving on Easter:

You’re allowed to cry and celebrate in the same hour.

You’re allowed to set their place at the table – or not.

You’re allowed to skip the service if it’s too much.

You’re allowed to find your own way through this day.

Grief doesn’t take holidays.

But neither does love.

If Easter is hard this year, you’re not alone.

And that ache you feel? It’s not weakness.

It’s love with nowhere to go.

The Rittman Grace Brethren Church, in partnership with Roberts Funeral Home, invites you for an Easter Sunrise Service at Hillcrest Chapel (9560 Acme Road, Seville, Ohio 44273) on Sunday, April 5th at 7am.

This service is especially extended to families who have entrusted their loved ones to the care of Hillcrest Chapel this past year, as well as to our church and community neighbors.

Easter morning reminds us that death does not have the final word. On that day, we will share scripture, music, prayer and the message of Christ’s resurrection.

If this season carries grief, you are not alone. If it carries gratitude, come give thanks. If you simply desire a quiet place to begin Easter morning, we hope you will come and join us.

Healing Begins Here: Moving Forward is Not Moving On

People will tell you it's time to "move on."

Here's the truth: You will never "move on" from someone you loved.

But you CAN move forward.

The difference matters.

Moving on means leaving them behind.

Moving forward means carrying them with you.

You can build a new chapter that includes their memory.

You can find moments of joy without feeling guilty.

You can love life again while still loving them.

You can move forward without ever, ever moving on.

They're coming with you. Every step. Every day.

That's not hanging on. That's honoring. 💙

Healing Begins Here: The Unexpected Triggers

You think you're doing okay.

And then you walk past their shampoo in the store.

Or hear their favorite song in a coffee shop.

Or see someone who walks like them.

Or notice it's exactly the kind of day they would have loved.

And suddenly you're right back in the thick of it.

These unexpected triggers aren't setbacks.

They're just grief's way of saying: "I'm still here because they still matter."

You can't prepare for every trigger.

You can't avoid every aisle.

You can't unhear every song.

But you can be gentle with yourself when they catch you off guard.

That's not weakness. That's love. 💙

An Irish Blessing for Those We Remember

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

And the rain fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

This St. Patrick's Day, we remember all those who have gone before us.

May their memory be a blessing. ☘️
