Roller & Hapgood & Tinney IMPORTANCE OF FUNERALS Since time immemorial, funerals have been a way for families and friends to come together to celebrate a life, create a sense of community, share memories, tears and even laughter.

Experts agree these comforting rituals help bring acceptance and closure, allowing those left behind to move on.

We are the Peninsula’s premier funeral home and cremation service dedicated to serving all faiths. We have been in Palo Alto for over 111 years – family owned and operated for four generations. We are independent – answering only to our community.

When a death occurs, you and your family will be involved in making many important and personal decisions. You need not be alone.

We can answer your questions and help you understand your options – funerals, cremations, memorials, tributes, and receptions. We also offer pre-need arrangements.

Our facilities include a large non-denominational chapel, viewing rooms, a large reception room with catering options, ample parking and other unique architectural features, including our indoor atrium.

WE OFFER ON-LINE OBITUARIES

FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED FOR FOUR GENERATIONS The family business was established in 1899 when Josiah Roller organized his first funeral.

In those days, bodies had to be transported by horse and buggy either to San Francisco or San Jose for burial. Josiah agreed to make the arrangements in exchange for help in establishing a funeral home in Palo Alto – something he thought was long overdue. As the only funeral home this side of San Francisco, Roller’s business quickly grew.

GOOD EMPLOYEES ARE ESSENTIAL TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS In keeping with the belief of our founders, our staff of professionals is knowledgeable, caring and sincere – qualities that are invaluable during your time of need. Palo Alto is a community rich in religious and cultural diversity. Our staff is well trained in the traditions and faiths that surround us.

SE HABLA ESPAÑOL

For more information, visit our website at: En Roller & Hapgood & Tinney, nuestros rollerhapgoodtinney.com. Please feel free to call, consejeros le explicaran todo a usted en su propio schedule an arrangement conference, or visit our idioma con respeto a su religion y su familia.

QUIET BEAUTY AND A PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERE Roller Hapgood & Tinney had been at its present location at the corner of Middlefield Road and Addison Avenue in Palo Alto, California since 1951. Designed by local architect Leslie I. Nichols, our remarkable funeral home features a unique masonry wall and indoor atrium.
