Sponsored content. by Addie Rainbolt, Grain Valley Chamber of Commerce Marketing Intern Royer Funeral Home has three locations: Grain Valley, Oak Grove and Royer’s New Salem in Independence. Ashley Fulford, Royer Funeral Home’s after care specialist, community engagement liaison and funeral director apprentice, said Royer Funeral Home has been offering a tradition of caring for 65 years. Royer Funeral Home is family owned, Fulford said, which helps assure clients their loved ones are being cared for like family. The funeral director staff travel between the three locations, Fulford said, depending on the family’s needs. Royer Funeral Home also offers cremation services, Fulford said, which is “really nice because we can provide all that care in-house with our own crematory that we run and operate.” All care Royer Funeral Home provides is done with sincerity. Fulford explains, “there’s just so much purpose around being able to care for someone’s loved ones in those last moments so they can say goodbye the way they need to.” Although everyone is going to need funeral services at some point, Fulford said, Royer Funeral Home wants to begin and continue their relationship with the community outside of these services. Royer Funeral Home initiates these relationships with the aftercare program and intentional community involvement. Some of Royer's recent community outreach events include The Memorial Rock Garden Picnic, a “Don’t Dread, Plan Ahead” Q and A panel, the Remembrance Tree Lighting Ceremony, and a graveside wreath making workshop. This year, Royer Funeral Home will host two Remembrance Tree Lighting Ceremonies, one in Grain Valley and one in Oak Grove. Royer Funeral Home will also host another “Don’t Dread, Plan Ahead” Q and A panel and Memorial Rock Garden Picnic next year. Royer Funeral Home also wants to carry on the legacies of loved ones, Fulford said. “When someone passes away, you don’t want that to be the end. You want their legacy to continue.” Intentionally creating and maintaining a relationship with the community helps accomplish this, too, Fulford said, because “your loved one lives on through you.” For more information, visit: http://royerfuneralhome.com/ Ashley Fulford, after care specialist, community engagement liaison and funeral director apprentice, and Funeral Director Chris Reynolds are committed to providing dignified, respectful, and compassionate assistance to families in their time of need.
