The Roberts family has been dedicated to funeral service since 1898, when C.V. Roberts, a dedicated community leader, first entered the profession in a small frame building in Ocala, FL. In 1937, C.V. passed the business to his son Edgar S. Roberts, who was married to the former Sarah Doris Hemphill of Dunnellon, Fl.
Together they owned and operated Roberts Funeral Home. Kenneth followed in the family tradition by entering the funeral profession and becoming actively involved in the family business. In 1963, the Roberts family opened an ambulance service in Dunnellon, FL in the old army barracks. In 1964, the Roberts family built the first and only crematory in North Central Florida and for many years provided cremations for other funeral homes.

Kevin Roberts represents the fourth generation of the Roberts Family. His parents, Patty and Kenneth, were high school sweethearts and were married 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.
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.

With the recent loss of my mother, at a time when you are struck by grief and barely able to breathe, the angels at Roberts Funeral Home of Dunnellon stepped in and took a care of our angel seamlessly. They were compassionate every step of the way, everything was organized, simple and helpful. They even provided organized helpful information for my father to help him with things he may not have thought to do after the passing of my mother. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for our family and would recommend them to anyone.
