At Robertson-Drago Funeral Home, we understand that losing a loved one is one of life's most profound challenges.

Understanding the Role of Obituaries

Obituaries are more than just announcements of death; they are a celebration of life. Here are some essential functions they serve:

Informing the Community: Obituaries provide essential details about the deceased, including their birth date, family members, accomplishments, and the circumstances surrounding their passing.
Creating a Lasting Memory: These tributes capture a person's essence, sharing their passions, hobbies, and significant milestones. It’s a way for family and friends to remember the joy the individual brought into their lives.
Encouraging Remembrance: By publicly commemorating someone’s life, obituaries invite others to share their own memories and stories, fostering a sense of community and connection.
