In 1891 Floyd and Amanda Loop established the F.A. Loop and Son Undertakers & Furniture Store on Main Street in Bolivar, New York.

The Family Monument is a tablet mounted on top of a base used to identify a family's burial plot within a cemetery.

As soon as we we're ready to head from the funeral home to the cemetery, he took off leaving all of us to fight through traffic to catch up. 7 cars got lost and didn't know where to turn because he just took off at 55mph. So now you have family members crying also trying to give directions! Then after they lowered my grandma in the ground, he said we must get in our cars and leave so they
