Local Grief Support
Grief Support
Grieving is as natural as the setting of the sun. Grief is a complex, but perfectly normal and necessary mixture of human emotions. Mourning is a process of healthy expression of grief brought about by the loss of a loved one.
Rolands Funeral Service cares about you. Our personalized and caring grief support services are designed to aid those in grief.
"There is help and hope for all those who grieve."
-Dick Krambeck
The staff at Rolands will help you in the steps of growth that take place during the mourning process. There is help and hope for those who grieve and mourn. It is our observation that as we progress through grief, it is best to seek the support of those who adopt a companionable attitude toward you and to avoid those who do not. Let us at Rolands be with you in your journey to reconciliation.
At no charge, Rolands' Funeral Home offers grief support to those families who have utilized our services as well as to others in the area that have this need.

The group focuses on learning through individualized study and sharing of experiences.
