Speaking with the operations manager, Shari Hand, she mentioned that former owner John Mahar was at the point in his career where he wanted to start looking at the next chapter for himself and the funeral home. When asked why Mahar chose Rollings Funeral Service, Hand said, “It just made sense. We had done a lot of research on Rollings and the fact that it’s a family run business and will continue to stay that way was a big reason.” Overall, the best part to them is that nothing about the funeral home will change. “The staff will remain the same, the way we serve will remain the same and families won’t notice any changes. We’ll still be able to maintain the same integrity and quality of care as we have over the past 80 plus years,” Hand noted. With nearly 80 locations across the United States, Rollings Funeral Service is one of the largest private funeral home owners in the eastern United States. With each of their firms operated on the local level, their managers work directly with Rollings Funeral Service to establish budgets, pricing, and best practices. They also pride themselves on being a great alternative to selling to a publicly traded company and they continue to search for firms that will be a great fit to their growing family of funeral homes.
