During this time of uncertainly and turmoil, The Roger W. Davis Funeral Home wants to let you know we are still here for you. We are always monitoring the situation and the guidelines for gatherings. We and the State of Ohio still believe that gathering and supporting one another at a time of loss is important, which is why the State of Ohio has exempted funerals from the public gathering ban.
Still the recommendation from the Governor and the CDC is no more than 50 people at any gathering. Our goal is to help families so they can still have a public visitation and a funeral. We will do our best to comply with the State of Ohio and the CDC's mandates. We ask for your cooperation with this task.

Services
In 1964 Roger W. and Lillian Davis opened the Roger W. Davis Funeral Home in West Portsmouth. Their goal was to give people the best possible care in their most difficult time of need. In 1985 their son R. Scott Davis joined the business and in 1990 Scott's wife Leichia joined the business. In 1993 Roger Davis died leaving his wife, son and daughter-in-law to follow his dream.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
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.

This is a wonderful funeral home to leave your loved ones with. Our family member died in the middle of the night and the funeral home came to pickup them up at 3am in the morning. They drove a hour away and was there asap. They came caring and ready to help us. This funeral home isn't a business as much as a local caring family. I lost a friend but gained a new family. Thank you Roger Davis for letting me be part of your family and taking care of mine.

This is the only Funeral Home I know in Portsmouth, Ohio and I have dealt with them far to many times over the years. My family in West Portsmouth, have all been served by the Davis Funeral Home. I have found them to be polite, professional, friendly and caring.
