L. Doolin Gorman and Lewis G. Scharpf became partners in 1946 with a commitment to provide service of distinction to local families with special attention to detail, while providing the best value in the local market. The funeral home remained there until we moved to our new facility at 1947 East Seminole in 1991.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

My family is so very thankful for Angela Collins at the Gorman Sharpf funeral home. She took time to listen to our needs, explained how everything works in a way that we could understand and even explained them several times because we were grieving. Angela really cares about the families that come to see her and my husband and I are going to plan our funerals with her. She also gave us Options on things, everyone knows that planning a funeral is so very rough when you've lost someone you love. Thanks again Angela for the loving care you showed my family during our time when we needed you the most

I only worked for Gorman Scharpf three weeks. The training was good, management informed me several times I was doing a good job, only to be lied to in front of my face and then fired after three weeks of working long hours, little sleep and always showed up to do my job. Management doesn't appreciate your hard work and they take advantage of the employees they have that are working for them. I wouldn't recommend working for them or using their services.

I cannot thank Angela Collins at Gorman Scharpf enough for taking such good care of my family and I during the hardest two times in my life. I lost my father to cancer and a few years later my mom to pneumonia. Angela went above and way beyond taking care of every one of our needs and wants. She was not only professional in the job aspect but also so caring in the personal aspect. She kept checking on us to make sure we were ok and asking if there was anything she could do to make things easier. She personally sent us cards and flowers to help ease our pain. My parents didn’t have a final

My 98 year old father passed away earlier this week and Gorman-Scharpf helped us make all the arrangements. My father was a WW2 Vet and a Prisoner of War. They set up for him to have military honors. Our family highly recommend them. Every single member of their staff was so kind and caring. Thank you!

Gorman-Scharpf recently took care of my mother's funeral arrangements. 5 stars is not enough to convey how much we respected them for their compassion and business morals. They don't treat this like a business transaction, but more like a friend helping your out during a rough time. From start to finish they were nothing but professional. They made the whole process very easy for us, and if we needed services like these again we would definitely use them.

I’m grateful for the compassion and information received from Angela. She walked us through every aspect allowing us to move at our pace while coping and planning. My brother, sister and I had never had to make these difficult decisions and didn’t know where to begin after losing our father so suddenly. Angela became like family helping us through this time and together we planned a service that honored my father beautifully. We are also grateful for Andy for giving a beautiful service and creating the slideshow that really celebrated the life of our father. Thank you will never be enough to

The staff treated our entire (sometimes difficult) family with the upmost respect and dignity. We felt the stress of dealing with the physicality of my sister's untimely death was lifted from our shoulders within our first meeting. Our personal guidance professional was incredibly sensitive to our situation and struggles during the most horrific days of our collective lives...our deepest gratitude!
