Our trusted Team
Guiding with care.Grounded in experience.Rooted in the Community,
Committed to You
The people who guide you through the difficult moments of life should be just as compassionate as they are skilled. Our staff is made up of caring, experienced professionals―neighbors serving neighbors― dedicated to providing personal, attentive service for every family we serve. Unlike funeral homes that are part of large corporations, we’re staffed and owned by the people who are make up this community.
We understand that each family is unique, with its own set of traditions, preferences, and requests. These are important to us because they are significant to you. Whether you have specific wishes for how a service should be conducted or you need assistance in creating something entirely personal, we are here to listen, support, and ensure that your loved one’s memory is honored in the way you envision. We value transparency and work to provide a range of budget options that won’t feel overwhelming. Our goal is to help you create a meaningful memorial within a reasonable cost.
When our daughter passed away from ovarian cancer at the age of 43 we wanted the best care for our girl. There was never a question of which funeral home we were going to entrust her to-Ruck Funeral Home.
The beautiful, sensitive way they handled all the arrangements for the viewing, the Celebration of Life and delivery of the casket for the interment validated to us that we had made the right decision.
FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED
Neighbors serving neighbors with care.
Family-owned for over 100 years, we’ve built lasting relationships with the families and communities we serve. We’re a family business serving local families—because we’re not just a funeral home, we’re your neighbors.
