Rogers Funeral Home has been a trusted servant to the families of Milford and surrounding towns in both Kent and Sussex Counties. Started in Milford, DE in 1955 by the late John R. Rogers and succeeded by his son Perry W. Rogers, the Rogers Funeral Home recognizes a long tradition of valued service to the families we serve.
Funeral service has a reputation of being slow to change. We recognize that consumer habits change much faster then does funeral service; therefore we are pleased to be the first funeral home in our area to provide the consumer with a fractional casket selection room display. This type of selection room display is becoming more and more popular within our industry.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.

Matt recently handled the funeral for my mother. I am blown away by the services offered by Matt and his wife.
First of all, the home itself is absolutely beautiful. Matt and his wife have it decorated for Christmas with beautiful decorations, a Christmas tree, and roaring fireplaces. The atmosphere felt cozy, homey, and warm- not stark and sad like most funeral homes feel. My mother loved Christmas, and upon walking in, we knew she was smiling in approval.
Matt made all arrangements extremely easy. Everything was handled upon our initial meeting and Matt was very accommodating to any requests

Matt, his wife, and Jim were fantastic during this difficult time for us. This was our first funeral we had to deal with, and Matt immediately took action and helped us along the way. Someone always answered the phone when we called and were very accommodating, especially when we wanted to change how we went through the initial process of grieving and saying goodbye. He was always present throughout the process. They provided us with just enough professionalism along with human compassion outside of the "suits."
