Kevin Roberts
Owner
Kevin Roberts represents the fourth generation of the Roberts Family. His parents, Patty and Kenneth, were high school sweethearts and were married for 53 years. When Kenneth assumed control of the business in 1992, Patty came alongside him and together they operated the funeral home, he on the “front lines”, and she as the office/business administrator. Sadly, Kenneth passed away unexpectedly in 2017, then Patty passed away 3 years later.
Their son Kevin was literally born into the funeral profession, having worked with both his father and his grandfather in the family business. After the death of his father, Kevin chose to take a more active part in the funeral profession, and can be seen frequently helping out in various roles throughout the community. Following the death of his mother, Kevin took on even more responsibility in the day to day operation of the family business.
Today, Kevin continues the Roberts tradition as he and his staff provide professional, compassionate service to the citizens of Dunnellon and surrounding communities.
