Patty & Kevin Roberts

Owners

Patty and Kevin Roberts represent the third and fourth generations of the Roberts Family.  Patty was married to Kenneth, her high school sweetheart, 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.

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.

Together, Patty and Kevin continue the Roberts tradition of providing professional, compassionate service to the citizens of Dunnellon and surrounding communities.
